           Summary: Konsole freezes for long time when changing desktops
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.3 Beta
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: Ernest at Beinrohr.sk


Version:           1.3 Beta (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-2mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-6mdk

With new KDE's (3.1.93, 3.1.94) konsole (transparent bg) is VERY slow when it comes to redrawing and giving focus (and thus allowing writing/reading) when switching desktops. I have konsole on my second virtual desktop and i switch them very often. 

After switching desktops konsole freezes for as long as 10 seconds and only buffers my input. Probably it tries to redraw the transparent background. I use konsole with circa 10 tabs, all transparent.

This problem was not an issue in 3.1.3 (3.1.4), i've used konsole also with 10 tabs, also tranparent.

PS: 
- this behavior only happens when using transp. bg.
- in 3.1.3, all was fine
- unfortunately i have upgraded many other thing, not just kde, so i cannot be sure whether this is not a xfree issue
- i do not want to disable transp., i have so many nice girs as wallpaper ;-)
- plz do not make this a duplicate of bug 69640, it is not. I do not have problems with desptops or redrawing, just konsole.
