kde apps (long) delayed start

[fish199902]

Ever since I installed Debian many KDE apps (specifically konqueror) will appear not to load then, several minutes later, they will suddenly start. I know it's not my computer's speed because the CPU load during this time is usually at 0-1%

I googled this but I couldn't find anything useful. What would I need to do to fix this?

Info:
Debian ETCH
Linux 2.6.22-2-686 #1 SMP
Intel 915 Pentium D 2.80GHz
1gb RAM
KDE 3.5.8

Which Graphics Card do you have? Execute konqueror in Terminal/Konsole. Does it throw any error message?

I have an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256 MB
In Konsole it started and gave me the blue "Konqueror is your file manager, web browser..." page but I cant go anywhere or it freezes with a gray bar in the center of the window. When I give it a directory to open in Konsole is has the same delay.

Ok ! Have you installed Nvidia Driver?
Execute this

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver

Post output here.

I have installed the NVidia driver, I have version 100.14.19

fish@fishdesktop:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
Driver "kbd"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "nvidia"

Something else that I have noticed is there are a few KDE apps that freeze on opening an 'open/close file' dialog
