X slow to start after upgrade



Hi folks,

Did a dist-upgrade over the weekend on sid and a few gnome updates came
in.

Now everything is really slow to start - including the gdm greeter.

CPU maxes out as a process starts and stays there doing nothing for a
few seconds. Once the program has loaded, it seems to run normally. But
it means to takes a good 30 seconds to log in by the time you wait for
gdm, metacity, gnome-terminal, nautilus, panel, etc to all pause and
rise there CPU usage. :(

I ran a test on a clean account - it is slow if I log in through gdm,
but normal if I start gnome via startx.

My normal account is slow using both methods.

There is nothing out of the ordinary in ~/.xsession-errors or
/var/log/XFree86.*.log

Any clues? It's rather annoying :(


cheers

dc
