With the current cvs of compiz I've a very long delay in the startup of gnome-window-decorator, 7 seconds where it seemingly does nothing. This didn't happen in the past, but I don't know when it started exactly. Here is snip of the relevant part of the strace from the startup with timecodes 8872 22:17:15.764619 open("/etc/pango/pangorc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 8872

Are you still experiencing this with a current version of xgl/compiz/gnome-window-decorator?
No it's gone with a recent cvs-version, wanted to close this today anyhow, so good timing ;)
