Description of problem: After a suspend/resume cycle, startup of X applications becomes much slower; it takes 15+ seconds to start a program that started up in less than a second before the suspend. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.20.1-1.fc8 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Suspend 2. Resume 3. strace xterm (or whatever) Actual results: strace shows that xterm startup blocks for 15+ seconds trying to read a response from gnome-session. Expected results: No user-noticeable blocking. Additional info: I'm currently using a Thinkpad T61, but I noticed the same behavior in Fedora 7 on a Thinkpad T41.
Adding my hostname to the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts fixed the slowdown; apparently it happens because DNS is trying and failing to resolve my hostname.
