Same kernel, same everything. Just emerged world. 2 things I might add: it takes for me about 10 seconds now, when before it was instantaneous. I KNOW I have a mess with compiz, because there were NO nice compiz scripts in order for them to run at my session start: i have no idea of the order of commands in the gnome session manager, and I know the problem is there: conflicts etc I also add taht I used a ubuntu tuto and script for compiz to work, and I shall delete it at some point because it makes things slower. I do think ot s a ubunut related problem and a conflict between gnome 2.20 and compiz. As others said, metacity is just fine. And as others, I checked everything and no resolv.conf problems nor hosts errors. So, I wish I could find again that script and that could solve this long time session init. Please anyone could give me the link to this script? Where it is? I can t remember... Now, my xsession error: /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session SESSION_MANAGER=local/milkyway:/tmp/.ICE-unix/6467 Initializing gnome-mount extension (gnome-panel:6521): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -19 and height 23 ** Message: drive = 0 ** Message: volume = 0 ** Message: drive = 0 ** Message: volume = 0 ** Message: drive = 0 ** Message: volume = 0 ** Message: drive = 0 ** Message: volume = 0 ** Message: drive = 0 ** Message: volume = 0 ** (epiphany:6630): WARNING **: (NULL) message (gnome-terminal:6644): Vte-WARNING **: No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined.

My panel also does something tricky in gnome 2.18: I can t adjust icon size properly: from n pixels it jumps to m pixels without going with a step of 1: it remains locked in n, then jumps directly to the m size and I can t adjust this to the good size. *I use lila svg icons.
