Hanging when logging in. #50

Hi, fantastic guidance and instructions. Really pleased with the result.

I do have one problem which I can't seem to resolve. I've followed your instructions but when I log in to KDE/i3 it seems to hang for about 30 seconds before becoming fully functional. I have loaded two images: one when where it is hanging and the second is when it becomes fully functional.

Rather than using feh I have been using Nitrogen - I have tried disabling Nitrogen but this has no effect. I am also using my own slightly adpated i3 config file which is located in /.config/i3. I was wondering whether, in may case, the plasma-i3.service file should read ExecStart=/david/.config/i3/config rather than ExecStart=/usr/bin/i3 ?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Resolved the issue! I disabled the splash screen in the KDE settings or at least set it to "none". Seems to load fine now. I'll mark as resolved.
