Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing a bit of an annoying problem lately, and was
wondering if anyone else has ran into anything similar, and possibly
found a solution.

I'm running debian testing with gnome 3.4.

The first time I start my GUI on a particular boot be it at boot up via
gdm, invoking the gdm init script manually by hand after logging into
the console or by using startx it takes an incredibly long time for the
gnome-shell to load and become ready.
I have auto-log in enabled and it takes about 50-60 seconds from the point
I start gdm or startx until the gui is ready to use.
I'm using a core I5 2.4 GHZ machine with 4 GB of ram so there is a bit
of power.

I presumed it should probably be quicker than this. Or is gnome-shell
just really slow?
I've also tried disabling different apps which I thought might be
causing problems such as network-manager, but it really didn't change
anything.
I've also tried creating a fresh user account to see if there is any
difference, but it took just as long.
Finally, I looked through my syslog and /var/log/messages, but nothing
particularly obvious appeared to me.

So is this normal behaviour for gnome-shell?
Otherwise any ideas where I should continue to investigate would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
