For some reason, when I try to start gnome2 (with startx) there is a very long delay before the splash thingy appears - almost 4 minutes. I mentioned familiar for the simple reason that this exact problem happened to me a couple of years ago, whilst I was running Gnome-1.2 (I think). The short story of the eventual fix for me then was to reinstall Gnome. I am now wondering if anyone is able to help me with this problem now appearing now that I'm running Gnome-2.4.2. I'll include what details I think are relevant here, but if there's any information I can add, please let me know. Here's the uname info: FreeBSD Demon.vickiandstacey.com 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0: Sat Dec 6 18:16:35 GMT 2003 stacey@Demon.vickiandstacey.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/THOR i386 Gnome2 pkg_info: Information for gnome2-2.4.2: Comment: The "meta-port" for the GNOME 2 integrated X11 desktop Description: GNU Network Object Model Environment This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-port" that depends on other GNOME packages. Its sole purpose is to require dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the GNOME 2 stuff pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism.
