thanks for the answer

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.
