START ONLY ONE INSTANCE

Here's a tip. Try using KHotKeys to send Alt+Ctrl+N (or whatever the hotkey may be!) to open a new terminal. If you want a new Konsole window, create a shortcut to "release from session". I use Ctrl+Shift+E, so it would look like: Ctrl+Shift+N:Ctrl+Shift+E. (U might also be able to use DCOP but I haven't tried that.) It will quickly open a new 'Konsole'.

Create two entries. One which opens a 'new' Konsole if there's no instance open, and another entry to check if Konsole is running, --> and then sending the shortcuts!

This also works great with KWrite.

I agree with you... But I have a slower computer than you yet kdialog opens about half the time you mentioned. If you use a lot of speed techniques you can improve KDE launch time. This is a problem all down to X. So it's not KDE to blame.


I feel it would be better if it opened a new session (window) every time you launched 'konsole', rather than a start of yet another process. It's such a waste of resources, and it should not be that problematic I believe to implement. It would be a good way to improve memory efficiency, speed etc. without much hassle.

Reducing FONTS and stripping the X-fonts improves startup speed a great deal. Try installing latest development package of fontconfig etc.
You might also try to use prelink and preload, which will improve startup time. Turning of UTF8 in LANG also improves launch time. There are more...

Gedit always opens a new window if you run "gedit --new-window", without wasting resources.
