After providing the login name and password, the splash screen replete with its progress bar appears. If one watches it carefully, one sees that it is segmented into six stages: the first happens almost instantly, the next two almost as one, then the fourth and, after a longer pause, the fifth, and... Sometimes the sixth appears, sometimes it does not. In both cases, the KDE desktop appears. The question: Has everything loaded okay, even though the sixth stage was never reached before the appearance of the desktop? (Note: this happens on both of my computers, but a few daily upgrades ago, it did not, ie., the sixth stage did appear.) _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
