There seems to be a pretty nasty problem with KDE 3 which I can define quite precisely.
If I press the right mouse button on a downloadable file (say a .tar.gz) then select 'Save Link As ...' there's _enormous_ hard disk thrashing before the file save dialog appears. I also notice the same effect when I do 'Open ...' from KDE 3 applications (eg ark and kwrite); it often takes a minute or two for the file open dialog to appear. Finally, there's a lot of disk thrashing between entering the username and password and the KDE 3 splash screen appearing. Before I enter a bug report: i. Has anyone else experienced this? (KDE 3 was fine to start off with; the problem has only surfaced in the past couple of days); ii. I'm getting lots of entries in .xsession_errors of the form: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/home/thebrix' should not happen in restoreState! An English translation of that would be good ;) The problem is particularly strange given I have 0.5GB of memory ... Alastair -- Alastair Scott (London, United Kingdom) http://www.unmetered.org.uk/
