I think I have a solution to most of the slow GNOME problem. I do seem to recall that an indexing tool called Tracker caused some initial slowdowns when I had a slower machine. Uninstalling this may help get things working quite a bit faster, and it shouldn't take anything important with it as it leaves your system. Hope it helps. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...
