Running KDE 4.6.x on Fedora 15. All of a sudden everything having to do
with the desktop is super slow. The plasmoids keep freezing up.
clicking on the launcher takes forever for something to actually appear.
If I reboot, KDE desktop is just black for a while. But it's not my
computer locking up because any programs I have running aren't slow.
Nothing's really using up a lot of CPU. I only have two guesses.
1) somethings's up with my 3D graphics drivers - although I haven't done
any package updates relating to the kernel or nvidia drivers
I know glxgears isn't the best, most accurate way to test, but I get
