Hi, Probably this may have come up too many times but I am stuck here. Any pointer would help. Here is the problem: Whenever I login to gnome, it is too slow. Also the bottom start menu and panel does not show up. There were no changes made to the gnome configuration. It started happening after I made modifications to firewall iptables, named files, and other files related to mail setup. Even clicking on any of the icons on the left column make it run too slow. I think it may be related to the mail setup because I also see the following problems: 1) I cannot stop named daemon. It gives connection timed out message from the utility that is supposed to stop named daemon. It also blurts out endlessly firewall/iptables input dropped messages in /var/log/messages for SRC=127.0.0.1 and DST=127.0.0.1. So I cannot shut it down cleanly without using the power button/pull the plug. Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.
