Slow start-up sequence in KDE 4.9.2
« on: December 12, 2012, 11:19:37 AM »
I'm a bit puzzled by the slow arrival of KAlarm on my desktop panel, and wonder if anyone has any explanation of what's happening.  After KMix, Klipper and Network Center have established themselves, and the musical intro has played, it can take up to at least a further minute before the KAlarm icon appears.  With a 3 GHz dual core processor, this seems to be a rather lethargic performance.  It's not the end of the world, but I'd like to know why.

Hmm, the first thing I'd do is take a look at ~/.xsession-errors with kwrite, where everything regarding your X session is logged. It becomes huge quickly, but I've found a culprit or two in previous versions I used.

In response to tschommer's helpful reply, my inspection of ~/.xsession-errors shows a number of lines like

Quote
AkonadiAgentServer(3439)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know "/home/peter_h/.kde4/share/apps/kalarm"

where the four digit number grows progressively.  Something is clearly adrift, but I'm not principally a systems man, and would welcome advice on where I go from here.
