I just tried using GDB and strace to look at this problem; what I'm
getting is that libICE for some reason is doing several sleep(1)'s at
some poin while attempting to connect to the session manager. The
backtrace from GDB (not sure if this is what is actually causing the
slowness):

#0  0x40859c41 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6

And the relevant output from strace:

nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0})               = 0
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 6
uname({sys="Linux", node="beta", ...})  = 0
connect(6, {sun_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/tmp/.ICE-unix/3027"}, 21) =
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(6)                                = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [CHLD], 8) = 0
[Same pattern repeats several times]
nanosleep({1, 0}, {1, 0})               = 0
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 6

write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
write(2, "GnomeUI", 7)                  = 7
write(2, "-", 1)                        = 1
write(2, "WARNING **: ", 12)            = 12
write(2, "While connecting to session mana"..., 67) = 67
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1

Hm, wish I could see the rest of that warning message :-)
