Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe asked me :

When you say GUI mode, which desktop, and window manager are you actually running?

Which terminal emulator are you using? What services and applications were currently loaded when you started the terminal?

I doubt that ... what is your machine configuration? How much physical memory? And to repeat, which services and which software currently open?

I am using RHL9, It's default WM and KDE as desktop. The system is a standard desktop installation. I mentioned a small utility such as a terminal emulator just as an example. Large utilities like Mozilla & OpenOffice take ages to open. The M/C is a P4 @1.6GHz, 128MB SDRAM, 40GB Seagate HDD. Size of the Swap partition is 256MB (approx).
