When I try to run Gnome, the startup-process stalls for a minute or so untill it continues and works just "fine" (including sound). This only happens when I'm online. Offline there is no stalling. One guy suggested I tried "export ESPEAKER=127.0.0.1" before running Gnome. This stopped the stalling, but in turn killed of the sound. I'm running a bare/default 4.0-RELEASE upgraded to 4.0-STABLE. Gnome etc. installed from the upgraded ports. Made my own kernel from the default, only adding "device pcm". My soundcard is a Soundblaster PCI 64. Running userPPP as network, which works just perfect (if only dialup was so easy on any system! ;-)) All in all a very basic installment with no novelties added or any stranged tweaks. On a sidenote, which *might* be related to the above, the system has a tendency to chop off the first bits of the sounds, so beeps etc. often do not get played (through the speakers, anyway).
