Having seemingly sorted a recent problem with a poorly-behaved kate, I now have the emergence of a further booting problem (I mention the kate thing in case they are related). After putting in my login details the next screen (don't recall its name but its the one with the gradually fading-in device icons) seems to work then freezes. After about five minutes my desktop starts to emerge - initially with a black background and only the desktop icons showing - then gradually everything else. Some time later it all settles and responds normally. My guess is that some boot up/ initial desktop process is trying to load (ala the kate problem) and I get nowhere until it is resolved.
I have checked my startup - nothing there that shouldn't be (no scripts except the gtk2 default one) and my processes do not seem to have anything odd. I ran 'top' and from that it looked like nepomuk was hogging a lot, but when i killed it nothing obvious changed.
Not sure what other information you'd need to diagnose this. Any help appreciated
