I don't have any .gnome-errors in my home directory.  But
.xsession-error have the following

## from .xsesion-error

** (gnome-panel:4470): WARNING **: Unable to load panel stock icon 'go'

## end

don't know what they are

The system is not responding.  Like, metacity is not changing focus,
nothing happen when clicking those applet.  Other applications are not
responding.  Sometimes, I can move the mouse.

It seems worst... or the system somehow still freezes.

btw, I used Arial MS unicode from M$ before.  The speed seems to improve
a very small bit once I change it to Nimbus Sans L 12pt.  But it still
freeze.  Is gtk2 somehow much slower than gtk1?
