Looks like kded might be causing this. There is a
setting in KControl KDE
Performance to disable system configuration startup
checks. Possibly that
can be enabled to stop kconf_update.
I would suggest filing a bug report on this. Mark the priority to minor, as this seems to only affect a small number of systems that have a third-party binary blob installed.
We will need a stack trace from gdb attached to the bug report. Best way to do that is: 1.) Wait for the process to hang 2.) Switch to another console and find the PID of the hung process 3.) Start gdb with 'gdb' 4.) Issue these commands to gdb: a.) attach <PID you found above> b.) bt
gdb should now spit out a backtrace that can be attached to the bug report. You will of course need the debugging symbols installed for the backtrace to be of any use. ;-)
I'm using the same packages I made available to everybody else: no debugging support. So I'll have to rebuild every package to get this. Well I guess at least kdelibs and kdebase.
The DelayCheck feature had no effect.
The only thing that works is configure X with vesa, start TDE, exit, and then restore Nvidia.

You should be fine with just the debugging symbols for kdelibs.
