Gnome loads up, then loads fluxbox, but then gets stuck for about 90 seconds while on the 'Window Manager' part of the loading dialog. After 90 seconds or so, the loading dialog finishes and the rest of Gnome2 is loaded, and everything seems to work fine. My question is, why is it getting stuck for 90 seconds like that? What do I need to do to avoid that delay? When I use the default Gnome WM, it only takes a few seconds to Gnome to load completely. Similarly, when I launch Fluxbox directly, it loads almost instantaneously .. Just for a test, I also loaded the ultra-minimalistic PWM window manager in Gnome, and that also exhibited the same problem. Any ideas what to do here? I am using FreeBSD 4.7, with all installed ports running latest available versions.
