Hi,
For my Summer of Code project (mentor: Owen Taylor) I am working on
improving gnome startup time. Proof-of-concept work on gconf has already
succeded in reducing boot time from ~35 to ~20 seconds, showing that
there is room for improvement.

So why not just launch it some seconds after panel/nautilus? This way

My gut reaction is that you should disable it now, and reenable/cache
xrdb if user response is negative. This way you could focus on other
ways to speedup the desktop launch, possibly providing other major wins.
The Return on Happiness (ROH) is much higher for speeding up 95% of our
users

It is sort of scaring me that we seem to be making very little
progress on even looking at some of these. We found four more at
bugday, though some (2, I think?) from the original list have also
been fixed.
New ones:

IMHO a much better solution would be to simply delay running xrdb

Still, one thing that would be nice would be to have a check box or
something for each command saying if it should be loaded after the
splash screen disappears. I mean, there are a few programs I like to
run when I log in, but I don't want them to get in the way.

Turns out we've already disabled it and re-enabled it again because the user
response was negative. So... :-)
