kde 4.1.2 very very slow launching any program

[cman]

programs like dolphin, systemsettings, konqueror... start with a big lag of time, i tried to launch them in a konsole and then i've found out that it is attempting to do something several times and that's the reason..
this is what i get in a terminal:
"dolphin
/usr/bin/scim
Failed to open the panel socket
Failed to open the panel socket
Failed to open the panel socket
Failed to open the panel socket
Failed to open the panel socket

dolphin(8180) MetaDataWidget::setFile: KUrl("file:///home/diegoocampo")
diegoocampo@diegopc:~$ dolphin(8180) MetaDataWidget::setFile: KUrl("file:///home/diegoocampo")
dolphin(8180) KMimeTypeFactory::parseMagic: Now parsing "/usr/share/mime/magic"
dolphin(8180) KMimeTypeFactory::parseMagic: Now parsing "/home/diegoocampo/.local/share/mime/magic"
"

between each "Failed to open the panel socket" it takes a lot of time...

Try this. It solved the problem on my computer:

run /usr/bin/skim
    Frontend --> General SCIM --> Other
    set 'Panel Program' to 'scim-panel-kde'
    set 'Config Module' to 'kconfig'

[cman (diegoocampo8)]

Thanks, it solves the problem!!
So It means, it is not a bug of kde but a bug of my distribution (ubuntu intrepid)?

If I type "run /usr/bin/skim" I get the following:

bash: run: command not found

and if I type only /usr/bin/skim, I get:

bash: /usr/bin/skim: No such file or directory.

If I just type skim,

"The program 'skim' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install skim.
