Hi all,

I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 BETA2 for AMD64.

With this version, Gnome starts up very slowly. If I take a look at
the session properties window, it seems nautilus takes a very long
time trying to connect. However, after some time, it connects but the
gnome-wm script is marked as Status UNKNOWN (That column of the
treeview is not documented and I had to look at the code...).
So it seems at the end, metacity is somehow stalled during start up.

The --purge-delay=5000 as suggested here
(http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=445) causes other
processes (gnome-at-visual and gnome-volume-manager) to be marked as
not connected

If I only set the --warn-delay=5000 I get gnome-wm (metacity in my
case) to be marked as not responding.

In the end, everything seems to work fine. However IMHO, it is a bit
dirty to use these two options because they only mask the problem, but
it seems clear there are some faulting processes.

Any ideas of what the problem is?

Thanks in advance.
