At work we just migrated to Red Hat 8.0.  The WM that comes with Gnome
is _sooo_ sad and pathetic that I couldn't stand it for more than a few
seconds, so I switched back to FVWM, although I want to keep the Gnome
setup (panel, etc.) because we have some company customizations,
etc. there.


Overall I'm not having too many problems (except with Nautilus, but I'll
deal with that).  But, one thing that's annoying is that the Gnome
splash screen never disappears by itself.  It goes along showing the
icons of all the stuff it's loading until it gets to (I suppose) the WM,
then it just sits there.

I can click on it and it goes away, so it's not show-stopping, but it is
annoying.

I suspect that the splash screen is waiting for some kind of
notification from the WM that it's up and running before it proceeds; I
don't remember having this problem with Gnome 1.4 on my Debian box so I
guess it's new in Gnome 2 (or, *shudder*, in Bluecurve specifically?)

Anyone know what's up here?  I'm using FVWM 2.5.6.
