For a long time now -- pretty much since I installed/reinstalled Ibex -- the desktop and file manager windows have taken an absurdly long time to load. From login, I can be waiting up to thirty seconds or so for the desktop and its icons to load, and the panels to load with /their/ icons. Also, when I open a Nautilus window for the first time, it can take, again, anything up to around twenty seconds to open. Subsequent windows are quick (one or two seconds). The installation on my desktop computer (a 2.09GHz AthlonXP running Ubuntu 8.10 on an old 20GB drive) works perfectly fine. Would anyone happen to know what might cause this? I think it annoys me more than the dialog size problem. Sandy
