Do I need to adjust something or does it just take a long time for
applications to startup using a window manager (KDE/GNOME). I've got my
swap set for 256MB. I figured I have a pretty strong machine (PII400/128MB)
but linux is just dogging it. I was thinking about getting a second machine
somewhat smaller (PII266/64MB) but at this point I can't believe that it
would be useful as a desktop...
Also, is this just a bad habit I picked from the windows world or does it
bug y'all too when you think you clicked to start an application but nothing
happens then after a while you realize that your mouse click wasn't
successful so you try clicking a again.
It takes so long for these apps to startup, I wish that there was a "wait"
cursor to let me know that I did successfully start the application and then
I can go about my business until it finally comes up.

It is an automatic installation program. Just double click on the downloaded
file and it will launch the installation program.( It takes it about
15-20sec to ever start.)
