Comment 35 for bug 128803

same problem here as well, running latest Gutsy Beta as of 10/6/07 with all updates:
Gnome takes a minute to load on my P4 3.0 ghz 768 meg ram, effects off and nothing else running, default install. Nothing swapping, ram is fine, feisty loaded gnome up instantly after password screen, now 60+ seconds is a bit too much...
