Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux All user applications appear to be running at a nice of 19, the parent of all these processes are variants of kdeint4 ((kdeinit4: kdeinit4 , kdeinit4: plasma-desktop, etc ...). This is not constrained to KDE apps but all user apps including Gnome and the opera browser. Tested 2 users, same results. Rebooted, same results Konsole though is running at nice of 0 and any app launched within it has a nice of 0 also result of ps aux |grep user http://pastebin.com/skV04nAn Reproducible: Always Expected Results: process should be started at nice of 0 which is the openSuse default result of ps aux |grep user http://pastebin.com/skV04nAn
Since it doesn't happen here, maybe there is some custom configuration on your system. Can you please check if the problem persists if you use a fresh user account?
does not occur as a new user so I marked as "resolved as invalid" apologies thought I had tested as a 2nd (not new) user
