Created the .xinitrc file for the user "gnome" that reads:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session

just as it is for the user "stacey"

Performed the logoff routine (killing pids / removing ~/.gnome/session*)
I logged off
Logged back in as the user "gnome"
Ran "startx"
I *IMMEDIATELY* had the Gnome Startup GUI screen.., and was completely
logged into Gnome / Sawfish Desktop within 5 seconds of running "startx"

I logged out of Gnome
Logged off the system (as the user "gnome")
Logged back on the system as the user "stacey"
Ran startx
Delays - 2 minutes, 27 seconds.

Somehow, this is a user-level issue?

Let me know what else I can get for you, please.

Regards,

Stacey
