    The problem with gnome is that it stalls on startup for about 3 to 5
    mins with certain window managers: wmaker, uwm, blackbox, icewm

    but for others (enlightenment, metacity, lwm) it's not a problem.

    I think it lies with either gnome-proxy or gnome-session, I'm not sure
    how to find out. Any clues anyone?
