Here is the .xsession-errors file, just after logging in: startkde: Starting up... _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding _IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding klipper is already running! WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalogue. Fix the program WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalogue. Fix the program
If I check again in a couple of minutes, the last line will be repeated a few more times (seems to be about one new line every 30 seconds or so is added to the file). I googled the last line and couldn't find anything that gave any hints to me. The only other thing I can think of is that I reinstalled my truetype fonts using the kcontrol modul; I think that it may have been after this that the constant disk access started.
