If you edit the file /usr/bin/startkde around line 104, comment some lines out like this :- # Laurent kde2.2-30mdk scan-nsplugins #if [ -x /usr/bin/nspluginscan ]; then # /usr/bin/nspluginscan #fi Now next time you startkde it will not waste time searching for new netscape/konqueror plugins. This saves about 15 seconds on my system. The downside is. When you *do* install a new plugin. You have to press the 'Scan for new plugins' button in KDE control Centre before it can be used.
