Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Hi, I'm on Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3.2 updates (from "http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu" repository), and I'm having very slow logins after the "Folder View Widget" was added on Desktop, with the location: "Show Desktop folder" (that contains 5 subfolders with about 30 Gb of data): The "folder view widget" is rendered quite fast on login, but it "freezes" the desktop about 90 seconds (i.e: "kickoff menu" doesn't work, nor I can't launch applications from taskbar). It seems the "Folder View Widget" is trying to read the "Desktop" folder files... because the disk has heavy I/O activity during login... but I also tried to disable "show previews" in "icon settings" from "Folder View settings > Display" options without success. Curiously, when I change location property from "Desktop" to "Home" directory (with the same Desktop folder + 4 Gb additional data), or when I remove the "folder view widget", the login only takes 22 seconds. This is the content of my "Desktop" folder: ~/Desktop$ ls -al total 36 drwx------ 7 ycswyw ycswyw 4096 2009-10-13 18:01 . drwxr-xr-x 115 ycswyw ycswyw 12288 2009-10-13 18:49 .. drwxr-xr-x 11 ycswyw ycswyw 4096 2009-08-18 19:21 docs drwxr-xr-x 47 ycswyw ycswyw 4096 2009-09-08 18:34 downloads drwxr-xr-x 3 ycswyw ycswyw 4096 2009-08-16 13:46 fotos drwxr-xr-x 36 ycswyw ycswyw 4096 2009-06-27 11:25 projects drwxr-xr-x 3 ycswyw ycswyw 4096 2009-10-13 18:46 temp ~/Desktop$ du -sk * 8802408 docs 16088300 downloads 1127888 fotos 1307980 projects 3220 temp The system is nearly 3 years old (Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 Ghz CPU, 2 Gb RAM, Nvidia 7600GS) , but works fine for required applications (after the login is completed). Thanks.

The above commit should fix this problem, but if you still see it in KDE 4.4 beta 2, please reopen this bug report. Thanks.
Hi, I've installed KDE 4.4 beta 2, and the "Folder View Widget" works very fast with the "Desktop" location. Thank you very much.
