I would really like to know why does linux access the disk so much (in GUI mode) to fire-up even a small application like terminals windows? What is it that it reads/writes so much? This is irrespective of m/c configuration.

if you have the sysstat package, use the 'iostat' command to find out which partition is being accessed..u can also use the 'sar' command to know more about the behaviour of your system.
