Gnome at one time (RH9 days I think) was painfully slow to start after a 
hostname change, until it udpated itself in all places - or whatever it 
was doing. Is your hostname & /etc/hosts still intact? If it's been up 
for a while, I would expect it to resolve itself already. That's how it 
used to was anyway.


Nothing in the log files? top show anything of interest?
