After installing 8.2 my KDE seems to load in a very bureacratic pace - to say the least. To investigate this I compared two hiden files in my /home/kaj directory : the ".xsession-errors" from 8.1 and 8.2 , respectively.
Under 8.1 this file only mention something about "DCOP-server up and running" (whatever that means) - nothing more. Under 8.2 this file gets huge. I'll spare your bandwidth and only cite an excerpt : kdeinit: Launched DCOPServer, pid = 1499 result = 0 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1496' -> number of clients is now 1 DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-1496' DCOP: register 'anonymous-1499' -> number of clients is now 1 DCOPServer up and running. DCOP: register 'ksplash' -> number of clients is now 2 DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-1499' kdeinit: Launched KLauncher, pid = 1503 result = 0 DCOP: register 'klauncher' -> number of clients is now 2 DCOP: unregister 'klauncher' DCOP: register 'klauncher' -> number of clients is now 2 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1503' -> number of clients is now 3 DCOP: new daemon klauncher DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-1503' kdeinit: Launched KDED, pid = 1506 result = 0 DCOP: register 'kded' -> number of clients is now 2 DCOP: unregister 'kded' DCOP: register 'kded' -> number of clients is now 2 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1506' -> number of clients is now 3 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1507' -> number of clients is now 4 kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'kbuildsycoca' from launcher. DCOP: register 'kbuildsycoca' -> number of clients is now 5 file ......... ............. and so it goes on for about 5 kilobytes ! Needles to say : it's the same box, same X-server etc... What's going on ? Regards Kaj Haulrich Denmark
