Lot of time to wait until X starts

Hi people. I have everything up to date and I'm currently starting my DE using Start X at Boot.

This is my .xinitrc:

# Make sure this is before the 'exec' command or it won't be executed.
[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

From the time I enter my username and password, to the time Gnome actually starts, there are more than 20 seconds. That is a LOT of time. During that time, the only thing shown is  the typical "Last login: ".

This has been happening for a few weeks now, but I'm sick of it so I'm asking for help.

Thanks!

Re: Lot of time to wait until X starts

Not a frequent GNOME user myself, but give this a shot and see if it helps.
