I have that problem too, but quite different. I want to report a new bug, with this comment: [network-admin] bad format of /etc/hosts make slow Gnome Startup if no lan connection is on, but then I found this Bug. My problem was that when the Pc was not connect to the LAN gnome startup and all gnome apps where huge slowly. I just find that It was a network problem, because if I was connected not happened. I found the way to solve the isse: I think network-admin (the tool that I use to set my net) makes a bad format con /etc/hosts. I comment all the line about IPv6 and add my hostname in sequence of localhost, then I restart gnome without LAN support and it goes fast. See file attachmente for more details.
