Bug Description
When I type my user and password and log in, the GNOME desktop takes a big time to load. Just after pressing enter to log in, the screen changes to the system's background color and remains like that for a while. There doesn't seem to occur any disk IO during that time. Some seconds later (like 10 seconds), disk IO appears, and after a while more, the desktop starts to appear: background image first, then the panels, the applets, etc.
My PC is not old, it's a Core 2 Duo T5800 @ 2Ghz with 3GB of RAM, so I think it shouldn't be this slow. My video card is an "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)" one, if that matters.
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
Sorry for not assigning a package, but I don't know whether this is a GDM problem, an X.org problem or a GNOME problem
thank you for your bug report, could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug after login? do you get the issue using an another user account on the same configuration?
