In my experience, it really was Sawfish that was hanging. The problem (in may case) was that Swafish would hang for minutes, but would eventually continue. I'll bet you are running an X Font Server. I was running xfs-tt. As soon as I switched to gnome2, the problems I had with fonts escalated enormously. I finally switched from xfs-tt to straight X with no font server. Now, startup is a breeze. xfs-tt has other problmes, including horribly mangling the font names so that no application is able to use them. Also, the font server protocol is just too darn slow and unreliable, especially if you are trying to serve a lot of fonts. Try removing your font server and see if it improves. /Joe > > manager runing. > > PS : still no gnome packages in the latest -stable build of packages > on ftp.FreeBSD.org as well as the 1500+ missing ports ! > CC : -gnome > > Cyrille. > -- > Cyrille Lefevre mailto:cyrille.lefevre@laposte.net > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
