I still think there must be something wrong with how dbus handles that,
as it shouldn't lead to such a delay in application startup.

Attached. Command was "strace -r -q -o trace -f iceweasel".
I think the whole problem is due to this:
10037 0.75 mkdir("/home/richard/.dbus", 0700) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
10037 0.61 mkdir("/home/richard/.dbus/session-bus", 0700) = -1 EACCES

10037 0.000198 write(2, "Unable to create /home/richard/."..., 49) = 49
10037 0.82
open("/home/richard/.dbus/session-bus/620e4e5789a46d4838ff0b004746dfa0-10",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
Arguably, it shouldn't have such a startup impact, but that would be a
problem with how dbus operates, imho.
Can you check the permissions in these directories, fix them, and see if
it works better? If so, we'll reassign to dbus.
*red face*
rich...@deodand:~$ ls -ld .dbus
drwx--S--- 3 root richard 4096 Nov 22 2009 .dbus
With that fixed it works fine.
Sorry for the waste of time!

I think the whole problem is due to this:
10037 0.75 mkdir("/home/richard/.dbus", 0700) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
10037 0.61 mkdir("/home/richard/.dbus/session-bus", 0700) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
10037 0.000198 write(2, "Unable to create /home/richard/."..., 49) = 49

O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
Arguably, it shouldn't have such a startup impact, but that would be a
problem with how dbus operates, imho.
Can you check the permissions in these directories, fix them, and see if
it works better? If so, we'll reassign to dbus.

Bug#591397: Iceweasel produces error popups before starting and runs incredibly slowly
Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.11-1
Iceweasel runs extremely slowly in my unstable VM. This is a relatively
new development (it used to be acceptable fast).
First, it displays dialog box but removes it too quickly to read it,
then after a while displays one which reads:
An error occurred while loading or saving
configuration information for firefox-bin. Some of
your configuration settings may not work properly.
There are Details and OK buttons, neither of which appear to do anything.
After waiting a bit more a large, empty window appears. A bit after
that the title changes to match the page I wanted to visit. With
sufficient patience it does actually display the web page.
System load remains very low (<0.1) during all of this.
An strace fragment while it's failing to get anywhere:

I tried erasing ~/.mozilla and reinstalling both iceweasel and dbus, but
the behavior is the same (possibly a little faster but still hopelessly
slow). However a later strace doesn't show any mention of dbus, so it
might well be unrelated.
There is nothing at all relevant-looking in /var/log/kern.log or
/var/log/daemon.log.
