<p>Hi,<br /><br />I am running FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE built as of Oct 6 17:34:53 EAT 2010. Same day as when I did a portsnap and installed the packages needed to run KDE.<br /><br />I am experiencing frequent problems with kde4. It gets excruciatingly slow and desktop effects keep going down.<br /><br />I tailed .xsession-errors and tried to do what I was doing when it went down and got this:<br /><br />---------------------------<br />> tail -f /usr/home/mike/.xsession-errors<br /><br />kio_imap4(5169)/kio_imap IMAP4Protocol::~IMAP4Protocol: IMAP4: Finishing<br /> klauncher(1676)/kio (KLauncher): SlavePool: No communication with slave. <br /><br />QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected" <br /><br /><br />(Pidgin:7160): Json-CRITICAL **: json_node_get_int: assertion `node != NULL' failed<br />QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected" <br /><br />kwin(1691)/kdeui (KIconLoader) KSharedDataCache::Private::mapSharedMemory: Failed to establish shared memory mapping, will fallback to private memory -- memory usage will increase <br />link XMLID_34_ hasn't been detected!<br /> link XMLID_34_ hasn't been detected!<br />link XMLID_36_ hasn't been detected!<br />QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br />QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br /> QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br />QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br />QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected" <br /><br />krunner(1853)/kdeui (KIconLoader) KSharedDataCache::Private::mapSharedMemory: Failed to establish shared memory mapping, will fallback to private memory -- memory usage will increase <br />plasma-desktop(2035)/kdeui (KIconLoader) KSharedDataCache::Private::mapSharedMemory: Failed to establish shared memory mapping, will fallback to private memory -- memory usage will increase <br /> QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/StackDialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible<br />QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/StackDialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible<br />link XMLID_34_ hasn't been detected!<br />link XMLID_34_ hasn't been detected!<br /> link XMLID_36_ hasn't been detected!<br />QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br />QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br />QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br /> QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0), must be greater than 0<br />QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/Plasma::Dialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible<br />plasma-desktop(2035)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:<br /> QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/StackDialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible<br />QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/Plasma::Dialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible<br />QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(Solid::DeviceInterface::Type) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected" <br /><br /><br />(Pidgin:7160): Json-CRITICAL **: json_node_get_int: assertion `node != NULL' failed<br />--------------------------------------<br /><br />This seems to happen when KDE has been idle for a while.

<p>I am open to any ideas on this topic as well. From what I can basically tell, I am having some sort of CPU leak with XORG. I can restart X (no need to reboot) and my KDE becomes responsive again. But XORG starts at around 3% cpu and just keeps creaping up until it will sit over 60%. It is currently 27% from a restart last night.</p>
<p>I don't have kmix open. Disabling desktop effects doesn't appear to have an effect. Chrome vs firefox has no effect. Removing flash and replacing with gnash had no effect either.</p>
