I suffer from slow gnome startup, ever since I de-installed the default metacity window manager and tried running anything else. Never got round to sorting it out. I avoid exiting my desktop as much as possible as a result :( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Joe, I don't know if this is your problem based on your log snippet, but, running fc-cache -f as root may fix up your problem. You should do this whenever X is updated.
