Here's the uname info: $ uname -a FreeBSD <snip> 4.8-RC FreeBSD 4.8-RC #0: Sat Mar 22 12:10:35 GMT 2003 root@<snip>:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HAMMER i386 $ I'm in touch with Marcus on this.., Its really puzzling this.., I'd been using Gnome-1.x (now Gnome-1.4) on this box for hard on two years without problems.., but yesterday on release of the code freeze, I started portupgrading those apps that needed updating. When I started updating Dia, I hit some problems with the fact that the new Dia (I'd also been using Dia for close to a year) was in fact, now a Gnome-2 port. I did whatever procedures Marcus recommended I perform to get that to work (including clearing out /tmp). However, on attempting to log back into X, I there is this delay now (2.5 - 3 mins) where the black & white screen with the big X cursor just sits there.., doing nothing.., Then the Gnome startup GUI appears and its all as normal. Marcus appears to be looking at a name resolution issue, but this box hasn't had a network reconfig in months. I know it was working fine, becuase I had updated for the sendmail / openssl vulnerabilities only a couple of weeks ago. Let me know if there's any more info you can use, okay?
