Description of problem: Do: strace -o /tmp/gcalctool.strace gcalctool and then look at /tmp/gcalctool.strace (it can be any GNOME application gcalctool is just an example) there are 296 stat system calls for */crystalsvg/* But crystalsvg is a KDE thingy, not gnome: rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/index.theme kdelibs-3.4.2-0.fc4.1 So it seems that either crystalsvg needs an icon-theme.cache created, or it needs to be avoided otherwise it slows down Gnome... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk+-1.2.10-39
You can easily create an icon cache yourself, by running (as root) gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg
