Hi Jari,

- I can't reproduce this bug.
- I have never heard some else who can give confirmation about this bug.
- The splashscreen should not take longer than 5 to 10  seconds  on a
"slow" computer.
- Maybe a KDE component is missing on your system that is needed to
let work the splashscreen properly, but don't ask me which one (i'm
not a developer, sorry).
- Krusader is not developed by KDE people, we work independent from
the KDE project but we are using the KDE framework and share code with
KDE.
- How more KDE tools are installed on your computer how better
Krusader will work.

kind regards,
