I installed knoppix recently and I have a problem which I can't identify.
Some of the programs I open takes about 3 minutes to open and some
open right away. For example, konqueror opens in a heartbeat while
kwrite or kview takes forever (3 minutes). Also, opening superkaramba
takes a second, but when trying to open the file dialog to select a theme
you wait a long time. Sometimes even the "Start" :-) menu makes you
wait several minutes.

When starting these programs through konsole showed no errors.


Someone has an idea about this issue?
thank you./

Well KDE's just that slow. :) Ok ok maybe not THAT slow..... Run top or TKPS and find out perhaps something is eating system resources.
