Are you running redhat? I've been fairly dissapointed with Gnome on
redhat compared to the Garnome desktop I used to run.

The weird thing is that it is really fast with a fresh user account,
whereas with my account loads of small apps like gedit and the
calculator are really slow.

I've had my user account since 2.0 so it could be an upgrade issue.
How would I go about profiling ?
