Re: Abysmal scroll speed (was: Re: [Evolution] 1.4.5??)

Ross,

Does the slowness apply to window resizes and folder changes also?  What distro are you running - SuSE with KDE?  I had a general evolution graphics related slowness problem a couple of weeks ago (30+ second redraws under KDE), which was associated with pixmap rendered themes.  A simple fix, found by one of the excellent Ximian folks (Ben Kahn) was to have a file in your home directory, called .no-qtrc-to-gtkrc-mapping and log out and back in.  Worked like a charm.
