KDE 4.10 - desktop Conky slow refresh [SOLVED]
After upgrading to KDE 4.10 I noticed my Conky configuration is very slow refreshing the desktop output, refresh is set to 1 second. Is there any new setting in KDE that's causing this?

Re: KDE 4.10 - desktop Conky slow refresh
Actually, there is no slow refresh, but several instances of Conky at the same time, which are overlapping thus making a blur/slow refresh effect.
I have no idea what happened here, in system activity window (ctrl+escape) I see ".conky_start.sh" (which is a executable startup script and which should be unloaded after execution) and 3 instances of conky, taking about 20% of cpu use.
It looks like as if .conky_start.sh is not executed normally and I can not see this script any more in System settings > Startup and shutdown > Autostart...

Personally I only have one conky and the .conkrc file is in root of /home and just use autostart with "Conky" as the only command enabled and run on startup.
Only time I ran into multiple instances running. Is when I had session management and had restore previous session selected instead of Start with an empty session which is default.

Thank you Orbmiser, that solved it.
After upgrade to KDE 4.10 somehow "Create a new session" changed into "Restore previous session".
When I reverted to Create a new session and rebooted, everything was normal.
Thx!
