I've seen gnome 2.4 take forever when no network is availble. I't not saying that's your problem but it's worth considering. Check out the syslog and see if you have any weird msgs.

hmmm... this is gnome 2.10 Might be the same though. It is on the network though, as I was playing cube multiplayer over our lan today. Where is syslog? can I tail -f it?
 
/me runs locate syslog aha!
/var/log/syslog ! cat it I will
