[Bug 492681] [NEW] [Kubuntu][Karmic][KDE 4.3.4] More than one Activity will cause slow transistion to desktop on start up

[idyllic]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Upgraded to KDE 4.3.4, slow down in transition from Ksplash (KDE logo
stage) to desktop when there are more than 1 activity in workspace.

* Problematic behaviour: KDE start is delayed by about 10 seconds in splash screen (in final stage, when KDE logo is displayed).
* Expected behaviour: KDE logo during splash disappears even before it is fully unblured.

- With more than 1 activity, I change the splash screen to SimpleSmall,
I can access the desktop in same the position as KDE icon (SimpleSmall
splash has nothing fancy but only a black progress bar). Still have to
wait 10-15s for it to blur out. When the splash's black progress bar is
filled, the log in sound is played. Then I try to disable login sound,
no luck, still the extra 10-15s compare to 4.3.3.

Reproducible steps:
- kquitapp plasma-desktop; mv ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop* ; logout then login; add 1 more activity; logout then login.
- Create a new user account, create 1 more activity; logout and then login.
