Description Artem S. Tashkinov 2009-12-06 13:26:41 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I've just compiled KDE 4.4 beta 1.

With default settings and desktop, K Menu opens after approximately 5 seconds delay - you click it with a mouse, nothing happens for some time, then finally it shows up.

_After_ the menu shows up, I see these messages in a terminal:kwin(7379) KWin::Client::readUserTimeMapTimestamp: User timestamp, initial: 18379387
kwin(7379) KWin::Client::readUserTimeMapTimestamp: User timestamp, ASN: 18379387

@Artem: some weeks ago I've had a similar problem kickoff (but even krunner and other elements of the interface) were sloooow. It was due to a wrong combination of an xorg patch and nvidia drivers. Are you using nvidia drivers and/or a recent xorg (the patch comes from redhat/fedora but it has been applied to other distro ... for example in archlinux which fortunatly has been fixed after few days)
Comment 2 Artem S. Tashkinov 2009-12-06 14:13:25 UTC
I'm using Fedora 12 with all updates installed and yes, I have NVIDIA drivers installed. My xorg server version is xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.i686

I have the same problem with Plasma (Desktop) -> Add Widgets, this operation takes at least 10 seconds to complete - but I won't file a bug report.
Comment 3 FiNeX 2009-12-06 14:36:30 UTC
and what if you press "ALT+F2" for the krunner shell?
Comment 4 Artem S. Tashkinov 2009-12-06 15:41:21 UTC
KRunner also takes ages to show up :(
Comment 5 FiNeX 2009-12-06 20:51:57 UTC
Thanks Artem, so it is definitely the xorg bug introduced by fedora.
It should already exists a bug report in the fedora (and even freedesktop) bug tracking system.

The workaround is to downgrade the X server or use a free nvidia driver. Or recompile Xorg without the wrong patch itroduced by fedora
