Package: kdebase Version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7 Severity: important Sometimes KDE turns into a state in which some KDE applications as like as D3lphin, Kate, kaffeine, amarok, k3b... take over minutes to load. Sorry but i don't completly know what causes this, it some times happens when I have been playing multiple small videos with Kaffeine. I am experimenting the problem right now, today I have had KDE all day working since 8:00 am, to 1:20 am (many hours), just using boinc-client, kget, amule, and Ares emulated with wine. All applications are pasive, processing and downloading. When i have came from work, i have tested a downloaded video, and following I have found that multiple KDE applications take minutes for launch, some of them may be never start (kaffeine for example). I have seen this problem more times before, in other installations of Debian lenny + KDE, but in this same computer. I have passed a memtest86+ without finding error in RAM. It is possible this bug to have relationship with #461636 and #405965 bugs. If i run 'ps aux | grep "appname"' i can see the program in execution:

S Mar28 0:01 d3lphin They continue without launch after two munites. A few seconds later d3lphin appears, it has been launched. Around 15 seconds later other d3lphin appears (may be I started two d3lphins?). Around 10-15 seconds later, kaffeine also appears. They have taked around two minutes for launch.

Do you think that kaffeine could be the cause of all this? See that in the first 'ps aux | grep kaffeine' execution, it seems to be locked or frozen, because i previously closed it, but it still appears in ps aux. In addiction i have said that other times this started playing small videos with kaffeine. Interesting.. Sorry for this BIG report, you must be tired for reading, i hope for it to be useful.
