Yeah. We can probably start by adding some checkpoints to interesting parts in the startup code of the desktop programs --- what we've been doing in Nautilus and the Panel should definitely help. Then we have to find an easy way to collect that data on demand, and then feed it to tools like bootchart / iogrind / etc. The problem we've had so far is that someone does a good analysis of login time, things get fixed, but then over time things get gradually worse. It would be nice to be able to get a fresh profile at any moment, just to see that things didn't get screwed up. Volunteers?

Ubuntu's new "brainstorm" page is pretty cool. Would you have time to implement something similar for GNOME? I quite like the idea of a "digg for feature ideas" that we could reuse in various places.
