Sorry, just seeing this conversation. The most likely reason this is happening is because GNOME cannot load esound. This is a pretty serious bug, but no one seems to want to touch esound (it is essentially unmaintained) . The solution seems to be to make sure that esound it getting started on start up. There is a checkbox in the control center under the sound section. Perhaps it's already time to switch to asd. -- J.A.

You're probably low on RAM. Happens to me with K6-II-300 with 196MB (on AGP Banshee, plenty of free swap and HDD). Your call. )-:

Your call. )-: I see the same behaviour, except with KDE apps (since all of the KDE infrastructure has to start up, the speed is roughly even). In my case, I have a dual PIII 1 GHz with 1 GB of RAM, so memory and horsepower is not an issue here. This is one of the reasons that I've stuck with WindowMaker, the performance difference is actually noticeable. John

Found the error. Seems like all programs need to lookup my hostname when started from kde or gnome when i added host info to /etc/hosts all programs start as fast as with windowmaker. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] FHB Gigahertz Västerås
