I've been using FC3 since January and have religiously up2dated as each
new package became available. This is the first Redhat system I've
used, although I have been a linux user since '94. Generally things
work pretty well, but I am having some problems initiating and
terminating gnome sessions. With me, after selecting a gnome session
from gdm, the session hangs for a full 3 minutes, then continues to
start the session and everything is okay. With my wife, the session
hangs when *closing* it, also for a full 3 minutes.
If I use KDE, I do not have this problem, but I have gotten used to
gnome and would like to make it useable. It's a pain to login and have
to wait for 3 minutes before being able to do something... This problem
has been going on for probably 2 months, but I cannot correlate it with
any specific updates. I have tried to debug the session, notice which
processes start before vs. after the hang, etc, but so far I can't get a
handle on it.
*PLEASE, gnome fans and gurus*, give me a hint at what might cause
this. I don't really want to switch over to KDE, but I might have to
take some desperate action.
I also have burned the media for FC4, and I have considered just
upgrading, but based on some of the "crumbling world" posts here, I am a
bit reluctant for that.
Anyway, I hope somebody can give me some insight.
Thanks in advance!
Paul
