I was wondering about that too. When I was testing to get the actual |
| 26 |
error, posted in another reply, I noticed it seems to start over each |
| 27 |
time. It makes me think that each time I login, it will repeat the |
| 28 |
process. If so, that's not only undesirable, it's unusable. So far, I |
| 29 |
have let it sit for a hour or so banging away without completing. Who |
| 30 |
knows, it may take many hours or even days to go through them all. |
| 31 |
While it is doing that, the desktop is pretty much unusable. Nothing in |
| 32 |
the panel works. I have to use ctrl + F* keys to switch desktops. I |
| 33 |
also can't start new programs since the panel thing is locked up and the |
| 34 |
application menu thingy won't respond. The only reason I can do |
| 35 |
anything, I have it set to a saved session and it starts most of my apps |
| 36 |
when I login. If not for that, I wouldn't have anything at all running |
| 37 |
and couldn't start anything either. Since I have 12 desktops and use |
| 38 |
all 12 of them, the ctrl + F* keys won't get me to the last two or |
| 39 |
three. Even right clicking on the desktop does nothing. |

| 41 |
I think I'm just going to have to whittle down the number for a while. |
| 42 |
Maybe later on a fix will come along. Maybe. |
