new kde on f13 is very noisy!

[moabi2000]

Same probs with a new test user account.

I use the 'expose' effect a lot, it is a great productivity tool, so
don't really want to turn off effects.

You allude to another problem - I can't simply nuke .kde since there
is a lot of data in there. Why aren't there two directories -
.kde-data .kde-config?

cheers
M.
