The --purge-delay=3D5000 and --warn-delay=3D5000 options for gnome-session fixed the problem. However, this triggers another question. Since these options decrease the default timeouts (30000) for clients to connect and clients to respond respectively, doesn't this mean some process, acting like a gnome client is stalled or taking too much time to initialize? Does this worth a PR? Thanks > > -- > Mel > > Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules > and never get to the software part. >
