HAL and DBus are run at boot in my system. I don't run avahi as I
don't think it is really necessary, is it?.
I used "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" in my .xinitrc but
nothing changes. I still have the same delay and the same message
"Could not ask session manager if shut down is available"

In addition, I observed this other message:

Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file
/home/myusername/.config/metacity/sessions/10ae761321d5943f90126825862093768400000019000026.ms:
Failed to open file
'/home/myusername/.config/metacity/sessions/10ae761321d5943f90126825862093768400000019000026.ms':
No such file or directory

Even the "metacity" directory doesn't exist under .config. I tried to
reinstall metacity but that didn't fix anything.
