Dear all,

I installed KDE 4.6.5 from debian-desktop.org on squeeze (and actually have 
replaced it now with a KDE 4.7.3 re-compiled from Ubuntu). I know, all this 
certainly isn't "a good idea", but maybe some of you have a hint as to my 
problem:

The Plasma deskop is (with 4.6.5 and 4.7.3) extremely slow -- ie I click on the 
K menu and it freezes for 1min before the K menu appears. This is with and 
without graphics effects switched on (geforce 8200 w/ nvidia driver). I have 
also tried (w/o change) to switch off the start of all "services at system 
startup" in the system settings. And of course with a empty .kde in my home, 
and as normal user or as root. Nothing helped.

However, the problem completely disappears when I do not use ksmserver in 
/usr/bin/startkde, ie I replace

#kwrapper4 ksmserver $KDEWM 

by:

kwrapper4 kwin &
kwrapper4 plasma-desktop &
kwrapper4 krunner &
test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null

I have put the .xsession-errors for the first (original startkde, "bad") and 
the 2nd (modified startkde, no ksmserver, "ok") case in:

http://home.arcor.de/stephan.hachinger/xsession-errors-ok

If anyone has an idea, I'll be very thankful and he's invited for a coffee in 
case of success (ie some coffee powder bought online & sent to him or so ;) ).


Cheers,

Stephan
