This sounds more like a problem with your system rather then with the
interface. Like your CPU is already full and there just aren't enough
cycles free to accomodate the current window or app that you're
attempting to use.

Best thing to do if you have any problems with XFTree, xfce's limited

If you just type /usr/bin/konqueror, you will only be able to use
