           Summary: Plasma freezes computer while new wallpaper fades in
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Wallpaper
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bwpearre at alumni.princeton.edu


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Desktop Settings (the one you get to by right-clicking on the background, not
the one you get to by systemsettings):  I've set "Wallpaper" to "Slideshow",
and I have pointed it to a directory of my photographs (1.5MB jpegs or so from
6MP camera).

Every time the wallpaper slideshow switches the picture, my system seems to
freeze for a few seconds.  Input events are queued but not processed, etc. 
Perhaps no other X ops are permitted?

At least a way of turning off the fade-out-and-in thing would help: just switch
the wallpaper NOW in one step.  I have "Desktop effects" completely disabled
through systemsettings, but apparently the wallpaperer doesn't care.

Thanks!
