Weird behavior with GNOME

[William R Pentney <pentney@cse.Buffalo.EDU>]

My GNOME 1.0 runs all right, except that it takes an unusually long time
to load, and the Control Center/Midnight Commander panels are slow to
load. I thought little of this, until I noticed several recurring lines on
my xconsole, including:

Priority 50: Registering ID = <...>
Unable to connect to server port 35091
<sometimes repeated several times>

GnomeUI-WARNING **: Could not open help topics file NULL

Methinks I left something out of my installation, and GNOME is not
performing as it might. Might I be missing a package? I don't think I have
all of the GNOME help system.

Thanks - Bill
