            Bug ID: 328228
           Summary: Several programs in kde show very long waiting
                    periods, do not start or cannot be closed.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.11.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: j.reitsma at hccnet.nl

The summary above is somewhat broadly formulated, but there are several thing
going on in this version (from openSuse 13.1) that seem related to me. A short
survey:
- dolphin takes about a minute for it' s initial start; after that, it acts
normally
- the "halt/restart/sign off"  window that should appear after choosing this
option from de kde-menu, takes some 2 minutes before coming up; when a choice
is made, it takes another minute before the system responds and actually signs
off or begins the stop/restart action
- when in k3b ripping an audio CD is chosen, and one wants to choose a
directory to save the results in, an empty window appears, which after 45 secs
is filled with the contents of the initial directory. Pressing the Create new
map button gives another 30 secs waiting. Af all this is done, and one wants
k3b to start ripping, it crashes.
- when I try to report about the crash (debug symbols for k3b and k3b-codecs
are installed), DrKonqi complains it cannot contact kded. This proces (kded4)
appears to be defunct, and defuncts immediately again after being started by
hand.
- vlc (OK, no kde program, but maybe related though) when started from the
command line, gives it' s version and stays mutt, no further messages or
window. It cannot be killed, even by root.

There's probably more, but hopefully this is enough to try to tackle the
problem.


Reproducible: Always
