KDialog incredibly slow - impossible to use

Hello,

each time an application has to use KDialog (save a file on the file system, attach a file to a form on a website, ...), the process is extremely slow like it takes several minutes to open KDialog to select where to save the file.

if I wait a few minutes, the KDialog is open and if I close it and open it again, it opens instantly so there is something that takes ages to load the first time and afterwards it is not loaded or really quick to be loaded.

Anybody knows how I can find what's causing the slowness ?

Thank you.

Run kdialog in gdb, interrupt it when it hangs and check the backtrace

Okay, I will try to find out how to do that.

I assume I should use Arch Build System and compile it in debug mode first then start it with gdb, I will try.

Thank you.

That may not be necessary, it could be obvious from the backtrace where the problem is even without debug symbols

It seems that the problem was only temporary as I don't have it anymore.

I'll keep in mind what you suggested if it comes back.

Thank you.
