Slow start for desktop effects

[Michele]

Hello,

I have recently installed Gutsy on a (rather old) laptop and I have a number
of small issues which I would like to expose in a number of emails.

This is installment one:
After I enter the user name and password I can start reasonably quickly to
work ( e.g. type in the terminal) on a metacity desktop. After 4 or 5
minutes then compiz-fusion kicks in (fusion icon, desktop cube, window
decorator and the rest). Even if I leave the computer alone, it takes
roughly the same time for the desktop effects to start and the system
monitor does not show any activity. fusion-icon is registered in the start
up programs list.

Is there a way to speed up the start of the desktop effects or at least to
understand why this is happening?

Cheers,

Michele
