The only thing that sort of stands out in valgrind is
a number of calls to
windowState(), presumably from line 620 of tqt3/src/styles/qcommonstyle.cpp
Can you try commenting out that line to see if it resolves the slow
startup issue? You only need to recompile/reinstall TQt3 itself to test,
then log out/log back in to TDE.
Commenting out lines 619-621 makes a difference, but I need to revert to my Oct. 30
package set and run some as-best-I-can stopwatch tests. The reason is the patch helps but
my intuition tells me the apps are not opening as fast as the Oct. 30 package set.
I notice the commented lines are from commits 37a8b8a9 and 79dfe5ba of Nov. 4, which at
least fits the time frame in question. From my perspective then, looks like some of the
style engine work is indeed affecting app launch times. Hopefully they can be resolved.

Swapping package sets takes a while. :) Eventually I'll present some crude stopwatch
benchmarks. :)
