after I did an upgrade from my SuSE 8.1 to 9.1 the kde is slower than before. There are times, when the system locks up for a few seconds...

ldd /usr/local/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.2That set me to the right track ;-) I found out, that my system had had two versions of freetype.so.6 (one in /usr/lib, and one in /usr/X11R6/lib). As the X11R6 comes first in my /etc/ld.so.conf and it was the older one 6.3.3 vs. 6.3.5 this meant trouble. After removing the old version every issue I described disapeared (the konqueror issue instantly, the kcontrol things after a restart).
{your path to qt may be different]
and make sure that it is finding:
libXft.so.2 libfreetype.so.6
If not then that is your problem. If this is the problem, there could be two causes:
1. Qt is not linked against these libraries.
You would need to rebuild Qt.
2. LD.SO is not properly finding the libraries.
Check that the paths for their directories are in: "/etc/ld.so.conf" and then as root, run:
ldconfig -v |grep freetype.so.6 ldconfig -v |grep Xft.so.2
Thanks a lot! That's much better, than compiling things myself (-: hartwig felger
