(that's the common thing on both systems. i've got a network font server with lots of fonts for those machines. but ther's not more network traffic during the delay than usual and while kdm starts/loads the harddisk is being accessed a lot. so i guess it's not a font thing either.) i really don't know but would be very interested in a solution. greets, f. soul.
