           Summary: Kopete takes almost a minute to start, and half a
                    minute to close since KDE 4.4Beta
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wolters.liste at gmx.net


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Description:
Since the update to the KDE 4.4 Beta 1 and now Beta 2 packages provided by
Ubuntu Kopete takes almost a minute to start up properly. Closing Kopete takes
almost half a minute as well.
Besides that, Kopete works normal.

The problem is reproducable everytime I start Kopete, and was not present with
former Kopete versions.

Reproduce steps:
1.) Start Kopete
2.) Wait until it is fully loaded and the interface responds to mouse clicks
again (showing menus, etc.).

Expected result:
Kopete should load in only few seconds.

Actual result:
Kopete takes almost a minute to properly load.

What I've tried so far to fix/narrow down the problem:
1.) kopete --noconnect --noplugins
Didn't improve the time.
2.) mv kopeterc kopeterc_tmp
Kopete came up much faster. When I started to re-add my identities the start
time was close to a minute again.
3.) strace -f kopete
The strace is full of messages like:
stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2309, ...}) = 0
For several seconds, strace does not bring up anything else than these lines.
