I don't use metacity because it won't let me set separate images for
separate workspaces. I use Window Maker. In .Xclients, I have
export WINDOW_MANAGER=wmaker
exec gnome-session
Since I installed gnome 2.8, I find that the gnome startup stalls for a
long time after the spash screen starts and it shows 1 icon and says it
is loading the window manager. Window Maker starts up and I can use
its features and menus, but the gnome splash stays "stuck" there for
about 60 seconds. Then the panel pops up and gnome works OK.
I've monitored /var/log/messages when this is going on, and the only
hint I see is this gconfd output. Do you know what it means?
