Check your name resolution. I don't know if this would affect KDE per se, but have seen this type of behavior with network access. When the IP address is changed, the names try to get resolved on the local IP subnet, but the name server is on a different subnet. So, a time out period has to expire before the next option is tried (name resolution has a bunch of fallback options). If you have something that makes numerous requests by name, then your turn around time can increase substantially.
Another thing to check is that your defaut gateway is set properly - it should be on the same IP subnet as your workstation. HTH.

Now, something is hoovered... - it takes OpenOffice about 4 minutes to launch. - it takes any KDE app about two minutes to print. When I reconfigured cups, it printed a test page immediately. Also OpenOffice can print immediately. - if I click the "Properties" box in the KDE print dialog box, it takes about two minutes to display the Properties window. AFAIK, I edited all the appropriate files: dhcpd.conf, hosts, hosts.allow, exports, lts.conf, resolv.conf. Any ideas where to look for the glitch?
