[SOLVED] Gnome splash screen loading nautilus takes too long

Hello, my problem is pretty much what is described in the subject. When gnome enteres and nautilus is displayed in the splash screen it takes too long to load - about 3 minutes and that don't seem normal. I have compiz installed and if I open a window before the loading completes my windows have no borders, i can't move them, can't open 2 windows at a time and all those king of stuff.

I know that it is not normal because when i firstly installed gnome everything was loading very quickly. I searched the forum and found a couple of topics with that problem, but i didn't found a particular solution. There were tries to remove temporary folders, re-emerge some packages etc. and i try some of those but nothing improved it really.

my pc is a dual core with 2giga ram so i think it sould be quicker than it is now.

i would appreciate some help on this.

thanx in advance
best regards
max

Searching around this issue i found some possible problems. It seems that smt is going wrong with compiz. Well, at least with that ...

here's my /var/log/messages output :

Ok i updated to the new unstable gnome 2.24.2 just to see if smt will change. I updated the config files. Everything seems fine, but the "the panel" still loads more time than it has to. It takes some minutes. And i don't see smt so much important in log files of x and /var/log/messages.

i hope that a day will come that what was wrong configured will go away and the splash sreen won't be so slow

Check the file ~/.xsession-errors

I really can't tell what's wrong from this log.

Try disabling conky? It is pure guess.

Nah, the gnome hangs before even conky gets loaded. And i had that trouble even before installing conky. At that time gnome was hanging after "the panel" loading at the "nautilus". Then i decided to mess things around and i was removing .gnome files. Updated gnome, removed, installed and reinstalled but nothing.

Searching around i saw that some people were telling that it has to with x window system trying to bind to some ports automatically, and that was the reason for the delay, but checking the .xsession-errors that (if that is PM autoprobing tcp port) seems to be ok.

I'll check compiz and window decorators because i messed up them a bit.

I'm absolutely delighted!

I finally solved that issue.

It had to do with compiz. That error was the problem :
