I'm running FC3 on a laptop that is working great, other than this one little prob. I've never seen this before and I'm not sure what to do about it. There are several non-standard and home-cooked rpms on the machine, so the Applications menu is somewhat larger than it was originally. I don't think this has anything to do with my problem, but I thought I would mention it just the same. When I press Alt-F2 the dialog box to start a new program pops up immediately. I use this all the time instead of using my menus, because that's the way I like to do things. The longer I stay logged in the slower Alt-F2 gets. If the laptop is stationary for a few days (like over a weekend) by Monday I will literally have to wait for it to figure out that ged means I want to start gedit. During this time I can literally see Alt-F2 getting slower and slower until it seems like it is faster to do things by hand than to use a computer. Nothing else on the system slows down and a restart of gnome seems to fixthe issue. It just seems unnatural. If anyone has any ideas on why this might be doing this, I'd love to hear abou tit.
