Public bug reported:
Ever since the change to gnome 2.20, gnome is abnormaly slow too launch.
As a matter of fact sometime it launches the session in a quite correct
time (event thought much slower than it used to be with 2.19), but even
when it launch the session in an acceptable time, then most applications
take at least one minute to launch (pidgin a.s.o) when they should only
take one second.
After a while things seems to go back to a normal state, and everything
is smotth and fast again.
Here are things that seems to impact on this behaviour :
* when NetworkManager seems to have troubles to connect to a wifi network,
everything goes wrong (and this can also bring the "normal" state to the state
where you have to wait ages for launching anything)
* after something that caused X to crash, I am very unlikely to be able to
launch the session again in a reasonable time (it may take up to 1 hour to
launch the session)
When I am unable to launch a gnome session, I can launch a KDE one in a normal
speed, but then some Gnome apps (like gnome-terminal) are taking ages to launch.
I am using the amd64 version of Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy, with Xgl and an ATI
card, and my wifi car is an atheros (i.e. proprietary drivers)
