We had this discussion on the KWLUG Mailing List about two months
ago[1]. In short, the answer was to reset all the Gnome configuration
settings, as per this blog post:
http://dt.in.th/2008-12-12.fasterrrr.html
The KWLUG consensus was that nuking all the Gnome settings was probably
excessive, but no-one has done any testing to see what minimum amount of
deletion still provides improvement.
