starting with, what i believe was, 4.10.2, kde started to freeze a couple of seconds after login for more than a minute ~1.20. occasionally it freezes also when i start some kde apps or scroll a pdf/ebook in okular. by freezing i mean that everything graphical freezes, the processes in behind still appear to work ( such as amarok still plays the music ). i skimmed through the .xsession-errors, but -- frankly -- no idea what i should be looking for. nothing suspecious in /var/log/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login into a kde session 2. 3. Actual Results: freezes after login Expected Results: no freezing

Please try with a stopwatch :) - is it exactly 25sec? Then it's a dbus timeout...
i guess i've figured it out. saw a couple of timeout messages regarding avahi (not being able to start). so i removed cupsd from default rc. now it doesn't freeze anymore.
sorry, no, the problem's still persists.
as you said it is a dbus timeout that's logged.
after removing avahi (zeroconf) the dbus timeout messages in (/var/log/messages) vanished. though i still have the freezes after login for about 35 sec
Does this issue still persist with latest KDE?
yes, it does. it happens usually when i start reading documents (PDFs mostly) in okular
Do you have multiple displays/monitors?
