But this slow response occurs when booting or when you are in the Desktop?

It must be a dcopserver problem

Sure: but if you log as root?

Because Rosegarden uses KDE

Sure

Maybe a related problem

Well, this is a complete and complex system, all the OS are complex.

Here we are.

Just run the KDE apps that brings you problems from a terminal windows.

As instance: open Terminal

Type:

rosegarden

See what happends...

Like I said in other mail, maybe it's a problem with file permissions into ~/ 
folder.

Try running as root, and see if there are the same problems, then run as a 
normal user and see what you terminal says when you run an app, then try to 
solve it with gumption: as instance, remove ~/.DCO* or ~/.ICE*

Or remove all the files from /tmp

cd /tmp
rm -f -r *
(warning!! you can remove all the data if you dont go to /tmp first!)

Tell me
