Comment 31 for bug 44874

After the long hald timeout (which doesn't happen every time), I seem to also get a long wait before the desktop initializes the menu and the icons (i get the desktop background with empty bars for the menus) (this may not be related).
After waiting for a long time, the desktop comes through. However, mounting samba shares when referring to hostnames still doesn't work (haven't tried ip)
