Can anyone on the Gnome list explain why it takes several *minutes*
for Gnome to come up after I've logged in? Either as root or
kline, typing gdm as root brings up the gnome login widget;
then it it at least 5 minutes before anything appears.
Note that I'm running 6.3-PRERELEASE for the past few hours and
will stop upgrading when 6.3 releases STABLE. I did have some
trouble getting the /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 meta-port to build
completely. And for a few days of head-banging, my new version
hung because of incorrect BIOS settings: my computer was very
touchy about "COM1" or sio0. So, this obvious question: could the
Gone screen delay have anything to do with the hardware setting on
this Dell 8200. (KDE comes up straight away.)
thanks for any light,
gary
