I have been googling a lot to try and figure out the slow menus problem and experimenting. It seems that it is a problem with all the applications that use the gnome "open" and "save as" applications. With gedit run from the terminal - it comes up without any mesages - still takes 60 to 90 seconds to bring up "save as menu". However this slow menu problem seems to be in all the gnome problem for my desktop. i made a second user and it does not occur there - But I have not run the second user enough to accumulate a large lost of non-existant or moved files for that user. I think it must have to do with gnome applications searching through some sort of file tree to come up with the save as options. maybe it has a non existant file or partition in the "recently used" set of files. but I cannot figure out how to flush the "recently used" selections. I have gotten rid of the "Bookmark" ed selections under Places from the Panel and that did not make any difference. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bonnie Dalzell, MA mail:5100 Hydes Rd PO Box 60, Hydes,MD,USA 21082-0060|EMAIL:[EMAIL PROTECTED] freelance anatomist, vertebrate paleontologist, writer, illustrator, dog breeder, computer nerd & iconoclast...
