You could add some dummy Gnome application to your start function. I think it takes so long because the first Gnome app starts a process called gconfd-2 from some obscure library. I've no idea how to start it manually, and frankly I'd prefer if application ran without it - but gnumeric for example refuses to start without it. In older versions it was possible to rename libgconf-2 and gnumeric still started :-( > I googled and read the man but to no avail. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
