GTK Errors using GNOME in Testing

[Mark Wagnon <mwagnon1@home.com>]

Hi all,

I did an upgrade tonight and decided to take a look at GNOME after a
brief stint with KDE. Anyway, I noticed that things were pretty slow
when it came to GNOME-ified apps. The control panel and gmc took their
sweet time in launching and moving from section to section under the
control panel was equally slow. I decided to take a look at the
console I started the X session from and there was a screenfull of
error messages like so:

  Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0xE23EADO)

Interspersed were a few of these messages:

  /bin/sh: esd: command not found

Does anyone know what might be the culprit for the first? And just
what is esd? I searched the package directories on the Debian site and
came up empty handed. It is that sound server thing? 

TIA!
