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 ...
