Hi All,

I am running Freebsd 7.1 Beta/i386

I have a weird problem where gnome takes a very long time to start up.  
After logging in via gdm, the application menu and task bar at the  
bottom appears instantly, but the gnome splash screen stays in the  
middle of the screen for a good 2-3 minutes. No desktop icons are  
visible. After a couple of minutes has elapsed, the desktop icons  
appear and everything seems normal.

I am able to ping $HOSTNAME (so it wouldn't be dns slowing things down)
I also have gnome_enable="YES" in my /etc/rc.conf

I am not seeing anything major in my .xsession-errors, just a couple  
of warnings about secure memory for gnome keyring.

and this:

** (nautilus:1853): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported

This has me scratching my head. Any ideas on where I can start looking?
