Description Michi 2010-01-11 11:42:28 UTC
Version:           1.13.0 (using 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1)) "release 1", KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.33-rc3-mic

Hi,

I have a weird situation. Whenever one of the two applications, kontact or dolphin, are open my whole system gets extremely sloppy. Mouse movements are lurching (seems like not all mouse events are recognized since the cursor starts jumping), keyboard actions are noticeably delayed and compiz effects become very choppy. When closing the affore-mentioned applications everything's back to normal.

All this just happens when I use compiz. Switching to kwin solves the issue.

btw. I'm using opensuse's 1.6.5 X-server with the i915 kernel module from vanilla kernel 2.6.32/2.6.33

bye Mich;

I don't think that KDE developers can help you here
