Description Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-11-22 21:41:30 UTC 
Hello,

after I updated to Alpha3 logging in with KDM became extremely slow. Desktop shows quite quickly, but rest of it takes a lot of time (apps in system tray, etc.). I attach screenshot I managed to take while logging in, showing that even splash screen is displayed incorrectly.

KDM log in screenshot

logging in... splash screen just dissapeared leaving piece of it in the bottom-left corner. Note that there're no system tray apps yet - kontact, kcall, klipper, knotes, kxkbd, kmix and friends.

After logging in

One more note: fonts seen on first screenshot (with parts of splash screen) differ from what I get finally after everything is loaded OK. Maybe this is font rendering library takes so long? Check this shot - here's how my desktop look like when load complete.
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2005-11-23 10:04:59 UTC 
that the splash screen disappears after the wallpaper and kicker is loaded is a feature. That the rest of the desktop takes a while is ok too, but "extremely slow" is not. 

What gives time fc-match 'sans serif'?
Comment 4 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-11-23 20:48:43 UTC 
fc-match command results:

Note: I added some extra fonts into font path (xorg.conf), but not too much:
windows xp fonts (copied from windows that came with my laptop; monotype's book antiqua, arial black, arial narrow, arial unicode ms, bookman old style, century, garamond, century gothic, monotype corsiva, microsoft's batang, ms outlook, wingdings 2, wingdings 3, simsun, haettenschweiler, ricoh's ms mincho and so on), sun OpenWindows PCF fonts downloaded with olgx/xview ages ago (edict's fixed, lucida, lucidatypewriter, sun's open look cursor and open look glyph), and some other PCF fonts by edict (avant garde, courier, helvetica, times, menu and terminal).

I used to have these fonts for more then 5 years together with linux without any problems, and there was no problem with SuSE 9.x and Alpha 1...
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2005-11-23 20:58:50 UTC 
fc-list | wc -l ?

0.4s is way too slow for fc-match. Please attach a strace - does fc-cache -v output something?
Comment 6 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-11-24 17:53:53 UTC 
Both commands take some time:

Comment 7 Lubos Lunak 2005-11-25 13:32:59 UTC 
Try downgrading your fontconfig (and run SuSEconfig again).
Comment 8 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-11-26 15:30:59 UTC 
After downgrade fontconfig to 2.3.2.20050721-10 taken from OSS-stable log in process is considerably faster. And there're no segfaults on consequent runs of fc-cache -v. But now fc-list | wc -l shows 288 instead of 297. fc-match takes about the same time, but shows now Verdana instead of Arial:
