I see two different issues, but I cannot say if they're independent or not. 1. Some programs take very long until they actually start and open up a visible window. Once the program runs, more of the same windows open up quickly. I've seen this issue most notably with xscreensaver. After typing the name in a terminal or clicking on the item in the start menu, it takes about *1* *minute* until the window opens up. This feels like there is some timeout involved, but I cannot get any error message. 2. Some programs don't show a "highlight" for the menu item the mouse pointer is currently set to. The menues still work as expected, but you don't see what entry is actually selected. Concerned programs are claws-mail and lxterminal. If there should be a single root cause: all affected software appears to still use gtk2, so maybe the issue is buried somewhere there? Is there an easy way to reset gtk2 settings (while keeping everything else)? First I thought that xfce4-terminal might also be affected as it took ages to re-open my saved session. However, maybe it is just trying to start something else before, and that is blocking everything else. Menu highlighting definitely works fine for it. Any hints are greatly appreciated. cu Gerrit -- Dr. Gerrit Kuehn Max-Planck-Institut fuer Gravitationsphysik Albert-Einstein-Institut Callinstrasse 38 30167 Hannover
