Tray icons take a LONG time to appear with compiz enabled

I can confirm on this exactly. Moreover, gnome-keyring-manager behaves differently; I have to enter my WPA passphrase each time.

By the way:

My system: A HP/Compaq NC6220 laptop, with an integrated chipset:

02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection (rev 05)

This is actually gnome-session stalling after loading compiz.

Is bug #123606 a duplicate of this?

the other bug might be a duplicate

Getting the same thing on a HP nw8240 laptop. Gutsy Tribe 2.

Actually, if you remove --sm-disable from the compiz wrapper the problem goes away, reassigning.

compiz (1:0.5.1+git20070712-0ubuntu3) gutsy; urgency=low

  * debian/compiz.wrapper: run without --sm-disable (LP: #122949)
  * debian/control: drop epochs on compiz-fusion-plugins-main and
    compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and make compiz installable again.

I still see this in gutsy, with and without compiz. gnome-power-manager and network-manager take two minutes (fairly exactly) to appear after login. Furthermore, the System > Quit dialog will not appear during this interval, either.

Issue still exist with Desktop effects enabled. I need to restart gdm to get desktop.

In addition I also do not see the gnome splash during login. Sometimes I get no desktop at all when trying to log in. Oddly, it seems to work every time if I perform the following steps:

At gdm login screen drop to shell and log in. I start up top just to watch what's going on

Alt-F7 and log in via gdm

Drop back to the shell I started and watch for NetworkManager, gnome-panel, nautilus, etc

Alt-F7 and my desktop is perfectly fine

If I do not use the above process I seem to have about a 50% chance of never getting a desktop at all and the whole machine seems to be locked with the exception of mouse movement. I can't drop to a shell, can't ssh in remotely, etc.

reopening, since at least 4 people (including me) can confirm the issue is NOT fixed yet.

I can confirm that I'm seeing this bug as well.

Are you sure you're not seeing a different bug? This one is logging in and getting panel, desktop, etc but not getting your gnome-power-manager or nm-applet. If you're just getting a blank screen that's a different bug.

I don’t know about these other people, but yes, I am seeing the bug you describe: I get the desktop and panel, then two minutes later I get g-p-m and nm-applet.

However, I get this bug both with and without compiz, so the compiz component of this bug can be closed (unless somebody else sees this bug go away after turning compiz off).

Hi,

I only get this long time to load users session with Compiz Enabled in Appearance Settings.

Hi,

Yesterday compiz updates solved long time issue to get Gnome session.
