I have posted a simular problem before and while the problem seemed to go away, I later went into nautilus and attempted to configure the system, within nautilus the problem was still present. However the desktop was working otherwise. The problem was and is 30 second and longer delays from clicking on an item untill it executes or even responds. I am back because I finally found mcc and configured things there, no network or servers were touched. I did switch window managers from metrocity(sp) to gdm. At the time it didnt seem to switch because it complained about another manager running, on subsequent login however gdm was running and everything had 30sec or longer delays. This makes gnome unusable. I dont know where the problem is but I suspect it may be in X. But KDE dosent exibit any such behaviour so that should mean that X is ok. Help?
