Subject: FVWM: fvwm2 startup: how long should it take ?

how long should fvwm2 take to setup a desktop ? 

from the time my <.fvwm_xinitrc> starts my <.fvwm_Xclients>, until the last 
record in my <.FVWM2-errors> is written, i have timed it as 2.5 minutes.
(as the debug statemets in attached output show)

*that is 2.5 minutes before i see the first non-root window appear*

i am running intel RH 5.0 - XFree86 - fvwm2

my desktop setup includes 11 xterms and redbaron.

attached are the outputs from log files <.X_fvwm.log>  and  <.FVWM2-errors> 

thanks - josin
