Slow startup doesn't only apply to GTK. Motif apps are also noticably
slow to start over my ADSL2+ link. Snooping that traffic shows huge
amounts of chatter as the client queries the server for the fonts it
supports. LBX speeds things up (sometimes dramatically), but not all X
servers support it. Reducing the fonts the X servers supports speeds
things up too.
