Binary package hint: konqueror
When clicking on a directory icon from within konqueror it freezes for about 10 seconds while very slowly showing the visual effect for the click. Then the directory's content is shown correctly.
If I enter an new URL or path in the location bar konqueror immediately opens the directory without freezing. I have created a detailed log file using linux's strace utility and my findings are that konqueror spends its time talking to the X11-Server when it freezes. Filedescriptor 3 is a unix domain socket connected to the X11-Server (see below).
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
uname({sys="Linux", node="gizmo", ...}) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="gizmo", ...}) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, 19) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="gizmo", ...}) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)
...
When clicking on a directory icon, konqueror freezes for about 10 seconds spending its time with the following calls:

Then the opened directory is shown as expected. There are no messages on
STDOUT, STDERR or any of the kde or X11 log channels/files.
I suspect that the problem is the visual effect after the click on a directory icon, but I am not an expert at all.
Konqueror is quite unusable that way.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on my notebook - it doesn't only effect konqueror but kdesktop too (probably kdesktop just uses konqueror libraries).
Sometimes (some of the first clicks) it might work - but most of the times it takes 10 seconds and more to open an link (links in general, not only directory links!).
For me, the desktop isn't usable this way.
