<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi Alex,</p>
<p>ok, something is definitely going wrong on your system, then. This should not happen. It looks a bit like something is slowing down the frontend process, but I don't have a good idea what that could be.</p>
<p>Some things to try:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I did options(browser = "firefox") and it loads instantly when doing ?ls</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Could you also try options(browser = "konqueror")? If that works fast, we know the problem is specific to rkward. If it does not, we may be looking at a problem with KDE applications in general.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Regarding the grayed window: the rkward window, the entire GUI.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is highly unusual. The only time you should see the entire window go gray, is when a modal dialog is waiting for input.</p>
<p>Let's try to track this down. Since I can't reproduce this at all, I'll need your help gathering evidence. Could you please do some (ideally all) of the things below, for me?</p>
<ol>
<li>Please locate and post the latest rkward.rbackend.XYZ and rkward.frontend.XYZ-files in your /tmp directory.</li>
<li>Start RKWard from the command line with "rkward --debug-level 4", quit once the status indicator has turned green, and also post the resulting rkward.frontend.XYZ and rkward.rbackend.XYZ-files.</li>
<li>Please post the output of rk.sessionInfo().</li>
<li>Please move your ~./Rprofile out of the way (if any), also please start rkward from a directory that does not contain any .RData file. Double check that no workspace is loaded after starting up (ls (all.names=TRUE)). Does this change anything?</li>
<li>Run<br />
sudo apt-get install gdb # if you don't already have gdb installed<br />
rkward --debugger gdb<br />
# At the gdb prompt, type:<br />
start<br />
cont<br />
# Once you see the grayed window, go back to the terminal, and hit<br />
Ctrl+C<br />
# then type<br />
thread apply all bt full<br />
quit # Answer "y"<br />
Copy the resulting output on the terminal and post it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!<br />
Thomas</p>
