I could pin this down to a problem with /etc/X11/scwm/scwm_menus (generated by
the menu package, version 1.5-7). If I place an empty scwm_menus file in
~/.scwm, thus preventing the reading of the system scwm_menus file, scwm starts
smoothly if slooowly.

So scwm 0.5-3 and menu 1.5-7 (most recent hamm versions both) seem to be
incompatible. Can anyone replicate this?

All the best,
Stefan
