konsole/systemsettings/dolphin starts up slowly

[Søren Holm]

Binary package hint: kdebase

Running " strace -e poll -T konsole" from xterm reves me a short by anoying delay in the startup of konsole. I have no other konsole-instance running. The delay is also happening when running dolphin and systemsettings.

The strace looks like this :
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) <0.000027>
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) <0.000699>
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) <0.000022>
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) <0.000022>
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) <0.012773>

It is now seen another users installation other than mine. Also upgrading a livecd's kdelibs to 4.4.1 ubuntu3 introduces the latency.

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

Well the ubuntu2-version is the guilty version. The libdbusmenu-changes is generating the delay.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Subscribing Aurélien since this seems libdbusmenu related.

[Aurélien Gâteau (agateau)]

This is really strange because neither Konsole, Dolphin or System Settings use the class which is modified by the DBusMenu patch. When you upgraded the livecd to kdelibs 4.4.1 ubuntu3, did it bring other package updates with it?

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

No

The only packages also upgraded was

kdelibs-bin
libplasma
kdelibs5

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

Does the recent commits to kde4libs fix this ?

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

Fixed in recent 4.4.2 build.

[Søren Holm (sgh)]

Latest lucid build of kde4libs 4.4.2 fixes this.
