Indeed, I think every gnome app I have tried (and I have tried most of them) seem to take longer to come up than does Netscape. I'm on a Pentium 133 with 48 megs of ram and 200+ megs of swap, so that's not it. Another, possibly related problem is that none of the applications can attach to esd, whether it is launched from the gnome session manager or from the command line. For this problem. I have a generic SB 16 PNP of pcm1. Has anyone else had these problems? I will note that gimp does not start up slow like this, the spash screen comes up within probably a second or two of typing the command. I am using 3.1-STABLE from a couple of weeks ago.
