applications on gnome don't start.

[<NabilM@kuveytturk.com.tr>]

Hi, 

I installed Sarge (Debian 3.1 testing) on my machine. It looks very
nice. It was a basic install and I selected the Desktop Environment
packages only during install. I was able to answer the right questions
and gnome started very well. I also made a normal user account. However,
when I login using gdm to gnome, many applications like openoffice,
gnomemeeting, Desktop Background etc. and many more don't run. I see in
the ps list that the processes are running but they just don't show up.
And some times, the application that I ran comes up after like 10
minutes. Also, some times, the Application, and Action drop-down menus
freeze, and then again start working after like 10 minutes. 

Does any one out there know what the problem is? Thanks for your help in
advance.
 
 
Regards,
 
-Nabil.
