I'm don't think in this case that its a mem leak, I still show almost all of my memory available. Whats weird, is that this is only occurring when KDE itself tries to launch a process / program. For example, I have a firefox icon in kmenu, or desktop. At random times, I'll click the icon, and it'll just sit there, without launching at all. However, if I have konsole up, I can run firefox manually, and it starts / exits just fine. The weird thing is that it'll go ahead and start firefox up after a few minutes in some cases. (No errors or anything, it just starts minutes later) Its almost as if KDE is waiting for a call, or some dbus request to finish before starting the application. Few more details about our setup: KDE 4.1 (latest from ports) FreeBSD 7-Stable ULE Scheduler Aside from that, nothing too special. KDE 3.5.x never had this problem on 7-Stable. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software http://www.pcbsd.com _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
