Hi David,

What are the specs for your machine?

As stated in my lengthy email, I already did that for about 7 applications.  I 
posted the highlights in the email.  If anyone wants to see the full file, I 
will post them on a web site.

For reference, here is the relevant part of my previous mail:

4. I ran strace -T on a number of applications and found nothing consistent 
for the apps.  Here's a sampling of what I discovered.
  a. for kopete: read(3, "\2\5\0\2\"\0\0\0", 8) = 8 <8.204047>
  b. for khelpcenter: read(3, "\2\5\0\2\"\0\0\0", 8) = 8 <3.251070>
    read(3, khelpcenter: WARNING: Main template file name is empty, 
"\2\6\0\0027\0\0\0", 8) = 8 <16.990973>
  c. for korganizer: read(3, "\2\5\0\2&\0\0\0", 8) = 8 <3.301196>
    QMetaObject::findSignal:KListView: Conflict with 
QListView::doubleClicked(QListViewItem*,const QPoint&,int) 
"\2\6\0\0026\0\0\0", 8) = 8 <22.278729>
  d. for kwrite: Lines containing 'No such file or directory': 1693
  e. for konqueror: Lines containing 'No such file or directory': 1743 -- is 
this normal?  For reference, kopete's output has 123 and khelpcenter has 113 
and korganizer has 111.

  For comparison, here is GIMP: Lines containing 'No such file or directory': 
31
