Problems / Solutions

  • [2008-11-10] - High CPU load when burning dvds in k3b
    • Solution: load apparently due to KDE Baghira style animations → disable all widgets animations (button animations, use Baghira style progress bars...)
  • [2008-11-10] - High X load due to KDE Baghira animated widgets
    • Solution: disable all widgets animations in Baghira (disable button animations, use Baghira style progress bars...)
    • Next problem: disable button animation settings seems not to be kept. Eg.: burn a DVD in K3b, open htop and note X load, open KDE kcontrol, enable and disable back Baghira button animation, open htop again and compare current X load (problem is that the load is now smaller meaning the previou settings was not kept).
