Hi, I'am running ubuntu hardy (gnome), I installed amarok from the regular repositories.

I got a serious problem with it: it takes about 15 minutes to startup, about 2 minutes for the icon to get in the status bar and then it is still unusable for about 10-15 minutes (mouse over the icon show the application is busy). Then it works fine.

I tried to remove the packages clearing config file but it didn't help. I even tried running it as root I built the collection then I have the same problem.
The worse is that neither memory nor cpu is 100% used when it loads, I can still use my system, as long as I don't click on the amarok icon and ask him something (in that case I have to wait that it loads fully to regain control on the system).
I check it do not reload collection in the mean time, HD are not busy.

Copying this in google didn't help me much.

I can provide other log if necessary
