[Fedora 8, Gnome 2.20.3] Applications take a long time to start
 

Hi Linuxer!

If I start Gnome-Applications like Claws-Mail or simply the gnome-terminal, it takes a long time to start them.

After I searched a bit on the internet, I got some result about deletion of the ~/.ICEauthority file.

So I did that. Applications are starting up much faster now, but I can't get into the Configure Sessions dialog (System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Sessions)
anymore and I get this error message, if I start gnome-terminal in a gnome-terminal:
"(gnome-terminal:2961): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed."

Does anybody know, what the problem is and how I fix it?

If you need some more information about my system, just ask.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Have fun,
