.
For the last several versions of Fedora, back to F-22 and probably before that, when I starttxfce the xffce splash screen I selected is displayed for less than a second and immediately replaced by an ugly gray screen with a "spinning worm" in the center that just does nothing else for perhaps ten seconds, in a vm it is has been nearly 30 seconds!
I do "# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target" and startxfce4 from the text screen if that matters ...
This is not a real problem but an annoyance, there are times when I reboot several times and I always wonder how I could change this, have looked but don't see where that screen is coming from; it happens on at least three computers and for several versions and I would like to change it if possible.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Bob
