I've had the same problem for some time. There was 1 version of KDE (perhaps 3.5.6/7) which didn't do it, but then it started again (now 3.5.9). It saves 11 apps on 10 desktops, but that shouldn't be taking so long on a fast machine: after all, it compiles Kdelibs in 17 min ! In my case, it isn't kdm.log , as I don't have Kdm installed (I use 'startx' from a raw command-line after booting). One way to find out more would be to file a bug with KDE, but I'ld rather not waste their time, if anyone has further advice. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
