--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-session Version: 2.22.3-3 Severity: normal I have set: rhertzog@rivendell:~$ cat .gnomerc export WINDOW_MANAGER=awesome Whenever I start a Gnome session, it starts the first few applications and then stays stalled for 2 minutes and then starts the remaining applications. The panel and nautilus are immediately started as is the window manager, but then the rest of the applications have to wait some sort of timeout before being started. stracing gnome-session/x-session-manager during the block gives: 8270 09:59:18 read(18, <unfinished ...> 8092 09:59:18 restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>) = 0 8092 09:59:57 gettimeofday({1242633597, 865159}, NULL) = 0 8092 09:59:57 pipe([26, 27]) = 0 8092 09:59:57 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xf6d68798) = 8712 8092 09:59:57 close(27) = 0 (the rest goes on normally) 8270/8092 are 2 threads of gnome-session. I have the same behaviour with a completely new session (i.e. after having moved .gnome2/session out of the way). If the problem is somehow related to awesome not being session-aware, then feel free to reassign to awesome.
