Q: Why does moving to Trash take forever?

Three minutes ago, I told digikam to move one photograph to trash. The
progress dialog box is still sitting on 0%.

This is the worst example I have experienced so far, but it seems like
every time I delete pictures by sending them to trash, the process is at
best excruciatingly slow.

Is there some setting or something I can change to cause moving pictures to
the trash to occur at a reasonable speed?

PS In the time that it took me to write this e-mail, the progress bar
hasn't changed at all.

Hmmm.... looks like a KDE-wide issue; Konqueror can't send files to trash
any more either.

Looks like some necessary KDE background process must have died and not
auto-restarted :-(

I have seen this behavior too, not quite so extreme but the *first*
image I move to trash always takes several seconds (like tens of
seconds) on what is a pretty fast computer.  All subsequent moves of
images to trash are virtually instantaneous.

I'm not even running KDE and moving files to trash works OK, it's just
that the first one is very slow.

Usually happens when your system doesn't have properly set up CD/DVD
drives. KDE tries to decide what to do with them and it takes a lot of
time.

So what's a "properly set up CD/DVD drive"?  Preferably for a non-KDE
person!  :-)

Usually it means working HAL.
