hi,

when I log in from lightdm to xfce4 the desktop appears with the top panel with clock and sound applet, but then there is a ~5 second delay before the panel continues to load applets and the wallpaper. I've been trying to work out what is causing the delay during xfce4 startup. I've disabled all the auto-start items but the issue remains. Does anybody know how to work out what is causing the system to pause?

Thanks for any help

Not really, sorry, but it reminds me of a timeout. Something trying to load something from a service not responding. I'd check if one of the components is trying to reach a server which is unresponsive and if DNS resolution is ok. Sometimes delays occur if a wrong DNS server is configured and the system uses a fallback DNS when the primary one is unresponsive. Or an applet trying to access a resource which is not available. E.g. trying to show free space of a drive which is not mounted.
