Comment 50 for bug 291467

ld2ndR:

Yes, the delay is gone! But I did it like this:

In libcanberra-login-sound.desktop: I changed it to: X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Application

Startup sound works fine.

I commented out X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase= in gnome-wm.desktop.

It boots extremely fast, but it seems to be a dirty way to do it, as I get these:
