Bug#705426: [pulseaudio] slow KDE autostart: /etc/xdg/pulseaudio.desktop and pulseaudio-kde.desktop duplicate

[Andreas Berger]

Hello,

i'd like to add to this bug report that not only does this bug delay the start 
of other autostart applications, as Török pointed out, but it also renders the  
KDE Plasma desktop unresponsive during that time (start menu won't appear, 
alt+f2 dialog won't appear, keyboard shortcuts don't work). This is a major 
inconvenience and i think this bug deserved the status of 'important'.

to clarify, this doesn't happen on every login, but about 50% of the time 
(race condition?) KDE seems frozen for several seconds after login. according 
to bootchart, kmix is a zombie during that time. 'NotShowIn=KDE;' fixes it, so 
i'm sure it's the same bug.


regards,
andreas
