I can confirm this problem, but I do not have XGL installed. I am using Ubuntu 7.10, nvidia 7800. Desktop effects are disabled. I have recorded a video to illustrate the difference:
http://upvector.com/kate_slow.avi Kate is on the right (obviously). It is essentially unusable, as are all of the other KDE apps I use. Notes: - I am using the a driver downloaded from nvidia manually, installed with Envy (I am new to this Envy thing). While I typically downloaded the nvidia drivers in Ubuntu 7.04 as well, I always installed them using their provided installer only. Unfortunately, the restricted nvidia driver provided in the repositories incorrectly detects and sets my 1920x1200 display to 1600x1200, even if I manually "force" it to use 1920x1200 in various ways, but that's another issue for another bug. - Kate was quite fast in the time I've been using Ubuntu prior to 7.10, from 5.04 to 7.04. - While Gtk-based applications seem to be generally slower than they were in 7.04 (I have no data to back that up), they all run at a usable speed, unlike Kate and other KDE applications. -- kde apps draw very slowly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
