K3b is extremely slow upon startup, and when you configure programs within k3b - if you hit "search" (for programs), it takes up to 10 minutes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install K3b 0.11.12-r1 or 0.11.17 on a system (preferably k6-3) 2. Install cdrdao 1.1.8 or greater 3. Launch k3b (problem starts here) 4. Exit k3b 5. Downgrade to cdrdao 1.1.7 6. Launch k3b - problem dissappears 7. Upgrade cdrdao back to 1.1.8 or 1.1.9 8. Launch k3b - problem back Actual Results: K3b launches extremely slow while "searching for applications / programs". Expected Results: Launche far more quickly. General operation much quicker. Search for applications much more quickly.

Does it block if you run "cdrdao" or "cdrdao write -h" in a console? (which is what k3b does). You can also run "strace k3b" to try to guess where it blocks.
(excuse my english) in my system happend the same.. not is a k3b's problem.. the problem happend when you execute cdrdao in a console too.. i have not access to the machine that i speak about now.. sorry i can't paste my configuration. i have tried with cdrdao 1.1.8 and 1.1.9. d2clon
Try to run "strace cdrdao" and take a look at the last part of the output when it blocks ("emerge strace" if you haven't installed it yet).
not a kde bug.
Is a K6 related problem switch to "-march=i586" for this ebuild http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166918&start=0
