 Hi all,

 I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-BETA 2 and I have some problems with Gnome at start
 up.

 When I type startx, I get the gnome desktop and the nice border-less
 window in which I can see components loading. However, after the
 gnome-panel icon, it seems to stall.
 some time later (around a minute or two) nautilus seems to run and I
 get all the icons at my desktop.

 I have
 dbus_enable=YES
 hald_enable=YES
 in my rc.conf and I can see, both are running.

 I have the entries suggested in
 http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q20 added to my /etc/hosts
 and I can verify with ping that I don't have any problems with name
 resolution.
 I also have both net.inet.tcp.backhole and net.inet.udp.blackhole set to 0.

 What's the problem? How can I see which process is stalled during start up?

 Does this help?

Hi Mel, thanks a lot.

The --purge-delay=5000 and --warn-delay=5000 options for gnome-session
fixed the problem.

However, this triggers another question. Since these options decrease
the default timeouts (3) for clients to connect and clients to
respond respectively, doesn't this mean some process, acting like a
gnome client is stalled or taking too much time to initialize?

Does this worth a PR?

Thanks

 Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

Definitely worth a PR or at least gather commonalities in that forum thread, 
cause it happens on different releases and seemingly vanilla systems.
I don't use gnome, so can't help there.

Maybe move it over to the gnome list.
