[sorry, hit send too soon]

Could that be contributing to the problem?

What is odd is that this problem only seems to be affecting KDE apps, not CLI 
stuff or Firefox.  I mentioned Konqueror, but kmail too is slow to connect.  
I never used to see a small text message like this in the outbox.  It was 
gone before the kwallet password prompt went away.  Now I always see it there 
for ~ 30 seconds before it is quickly dispatched.
