i use intrepid, konqueror is now aweful since they removed a lot of it's
file browsing tools, and are not in dolphin yet :(
try selecting 10 folders in dolphin (KDE4) by means of a mouse box,
dolphin hangs for about 20 seconds before finally selecting them, why
the hell? it can't be low resources, i have 3 GHz CPU and 1.5 GB RAM!
and in general, everytime i click on something in dolphin, the program
hangs for a few seconds. i became very careful to not press anything,
unless i need it, not to press on blanks, it might hang, not to move the
mouse over a directory i'm not interested in, it might hang while
fetching information, not to touch anything in the side panels, it might
crash. this is freaking annoying! i was a mouse clicking happy person in
konqueror! i now set directories to open with konqueror in file
association. ad i rely a lot on the "quick access" plasmoid, i use it to
browse to the directory i want, and click open there. or even better,
use my always running konsole to cd somewhere and type konqueror there.
