If I start gnome using GDM, there is no slowness; however, there is a worse problem: the gnome applets do not work. i.e. when I set the number of workspaces using the applet, my commands are ignored. Thank you for looking into this. You will see this problem too if you follow these steps: 1. Buy a HP Z800 computer 2. Boot to FreeBSD 8.1-RC1 DVD 3. Install FreeBSD kern-developer 4. portsnap fetch extract 5. pkg_add -r xorg 6. pkg_add -r gnome2 7. add gnome_enable="YES" to rc.conf 8. add /proc to /etc/fstab 9. Fix my.domain references in /etc/hosts 10. Reboot and login Chris
