Re: Slow GNOME on Mandrake 7.0

I find that Enlightenment starts up and then it takes the panel forever
(about 2-4)
minutes to start up and get all the applets running.  Is this the same
behaviour that
you were witnessing?

I thought that I would try using the GNOME 1.1.8 unstable distribution and
see if 
anything changes.  Unfortunately, I get the following errors when tryying
to build the
packages (keeping in mind that I already have gdk-pixbuf 0.6.0 already
installed on
my system):

Executing: %build
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD
+ cd gnome-core-1.1.8.1

Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.13970 (%build)

If I can get it installed, I'll let you know if the slowness disappears.
