Hi guys I'm running KDE 3.5 on Ubuntu (Dapper). I have transparency turned on because it looks nice. On my Pc when I have set the background to slide show and added a whole bunch of my own pics. When the background changes, my pc slows down. If I chnage to another desktop (I have 6 of them) it lags for a few seconds. The background changes immediately, but the backgound in my terminals takes a few seconds to update to the new screen background. When I change to desktop 1 (with firefox and evolution open), firefox takes ages to respond, it jus sits there greyed out for a good 10 - 15 seconds. Ive got a pentium 4 2Ghz with 1 gig ram. Onboard video (dell pc) any ideas why the background change is hurting my pc soo much ? I used to use Mandriva with older KDE and the background change always worked 100 %.
