I've had the same problem for some time. |
| 15 |
There was 1 version of KDE (perhaps 3.5.6/7) which didn't do it, |
| 16 |
but then it started again (now 3.5.9). It saves 11 apps on 10 desktops, |
| 17 |
but that shouldn't be taking so long on a fast machine: |
| 18 |
after all, it compiles Kdelibs in 17 min ! |
| 19 |
In my case, it isn't kdm.log , as I don't have Kdm installed |
| 20 |
(I use 'startx' from a raw command-line after booting). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
One way to find out more would be to file a bug with KDE, |
| 23 |
but I'ld rather not waste their time, if anyone has further advice. |
