Help! GNOME is running slow.
I have had a serious problem with GNOME apps on my slink system. They take
5-10 seconds to open - the GNOME terminal, the panel applets, etc.
Non-GNOME apps open just fine. It's VERY annoying. I asked the GNOME list
about it many times and no one replied. I know you guys are a little more
helpful over here, so ...
An strace of gnome-session and gnome-terminal revealed two things:
- Both programs try to open /etc/gnome/config-override/session and
./gnome/config-override/session about a thousand times and fail. Why would
it do this so many times? Is there some way to resolve it?
- Both programs read and write 32 bytes back and forth to a small file in
my .gnome directory. Temp files are one thing, but these program write
back and forth to the file several hundred times. What gives?
