[Bug 94048] Re: [feisty] Slow gnome application startup due to /etc/hosts misconfiguration

[Jarmo Ilonen]

Command

time gnome-terminal -e "exit"

is ok for checking if there is a difference in startup times before and
after /etc/hosts modification. The startup time alone does not tell
anything useful even if there is a clear difference, so the strace log
should be attached from the slow startup case. The command for getting
the strace log is (copy&paste from above)

strace -r gnome-terminal -x echo &> /tmp/log

which stores the log to /tmp/log
