[K12OSN] Problems with Firefox, OO and KDE apps start up speed with SMBLDAP

[Huck]

try simply 'oowriter' or 'oocalc' or 'ooimpress' at the commandline?

any faster?
I've just about completed a 6.0 install with IceWM as the default/only 
window manager...and it's FAST...MUCH faster than
my old K12LTSP server that is getting upgraded this summer!
