--=-1paMn2VJ2+NXCx4k9a9b Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable For those following the thread with Randy Bush's _long_ delays starting GNOME and certain GNOME applications, the problem was FAM mixed with the TCP_DROP_SYNFIN kernel option. Randy had gnomevfs2 built with FAM support, but was not running FAM. Because he had this non-standard kernel option, gnomevfs2 file methods were not simple returning when they couldn't reach the FAM server. Instead, they hung...for hours. Moral of the story: if you build gnomevfs2 with FAM support, make sure you're running famd. If you want to add TCP_DROP_SYNFIN to your kernel, be sure you're aware that it may break certain TCP/IP applications.
