ACPI? I noticed starting gkrellm today that it took an oddly long time to startup so I straced it, it was hanging on batt and ac acpi for a long time.
Then I started hal with --verbose=yes --use-syslog and restarted dbus, hal also hung for a long time on those same acpi parts. -- hal takes about 60 seconds to start up https://launchpad.net/bugs/92647 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
