I think i might have the reason for the problem here; I noticed in my .xsession-errors file had a number of errors in it, this for example:
(process:5921): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead. Was when I was logging in, and this was coursing the slow down, I also noticed this: ** (x-session-manager:5918): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to PowerManager Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. When I try and logout, the last message does mention network connections, but I don't know how they're linked, as my loopback is fine (following previous posts, I checked it was up before logging on) and all but my wireless in disabled, any ideas? .xsession-errors log attached ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10275721/.xsession-errors -- [Gutsy] very slow gnome startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
