Description Alexey 2008-04-02 14:23:06 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The 'K' menu opens very slowly first time after every OS boot/reboot. At opening this menu redraws very slow. Next times it opens and redraws normal.
I think you can fix it.

well, we on showing it the first time the icons are readed while later the icons are cached and there is not much we can do there since at some time we like to read the icons to display them...
Comment 2 Alexey 2008-06-23 13:43:51 UTC 
I think, when KDE is starting, it should run some function, which force caching the icons. When I open the 'K' menu first time the icons are already cached and the 'K' menu opens quickly.
Comment 3 Andreas Pakulat 2008-06-23 13:54:05 UTC 
Why should the kickoff menu read all those icons when the user never uses it? It would slow down showing the "K" item in the panel.
Comment 4 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-06-23 22:44:25 UTC 
user reports, dev team decides. period.

there are reasons for that, e.g. dev team understanding the technical issues deeper than the user often will. feel free to continue to comment, but leave bug status as is.
