I put in the comment and its building now. I rather doubt its going
to make a huge diff though as its probably the single most repeated
bitch on the kmail lists, and has been for a long, very long as in
years, time. From hints dropped here and there, it might finally be
fixed with kde-3.5. But we'll give this a shot nontheless. I'll add
more after I reboot to test.
Now rebooted.
I don't think its made a noticable difference, I'm still getting the
hangs of up to 30 seconds but I'll let it run the rest of the
afternoon so I get a better feel for it. It doesn't often miss a
keystroke, they will eventually be echoed back to the screen.
