Hi, I made some tests on my system, and I don't experience any delay *except* in a broken configuration.
(all tests are done from a GNOME session, I'm only hiding the session manager) 1) normal GNOME use case with session, SESSION_MANAGER=local/bee:/tmp/.ICE-unix/5243 gcalctool => real value, works with no delay, probably connects to session manager) 2) out of GNOME use case without session, unset SESSION_MANAGER; gcalctool => not in the environment anymore, works with no delay, probably doesn't attempt to connect to session manager 3) slightly broken SESSION_MANAGER (empty), SESSION_MANAGER="" gcalctool (gcalctool:4092): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: networkIdsList argument is NULL. => no delay, sees the borken env and goes on 4) very broken SESSION_MANAGER (bad value), SESSION_MANAGER="local/bee:/tmp/.ICE-unix/00000" gcalctool => DELAY, tries to connect and fail Could you please report the value of SESSION_MANAGER? (env | grep SESSION_MANAGER) Thanks, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
