The KDE Splash Progress Bar...

[P. Gueckel]

After providing the login name and password, the 
splash screen replete with its progress bar appears. 
If one watches it carefully, one sees that it is 
segmented into six stages: the first happens almost 
instantly, the next two almost as one, then the fourth 
and, after a longer pause, the fifth, and...

Sometimes the sixth appears, sometimes it does not. In 
both cases, the KDE desktop appears.

The question:

Has everything loaded okay, even though the sixth 
stage was never reached before the appearance of the 
desktop?

(Note: this happens on both of my computers, but a few 
daily upgrades ago, it did not, ie., the sixth stage 
did appear.)
