Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.:)

I had a very similar problem, the difference being that I had the loopback interface correctly configured. Only thing is: my iptables configuration was too tough, and I forgot to open traffic between loopback and loopback!

Everything works smoothly after adding to my iptables script:
iptables -A OUTPUT -s 127.0.0.0/8 -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.0/8 -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT

Thanks for this page, that put me on the right track to understand the origin of my problem !

I used the info from this site to fix this problem once and it recurred after a major update to Ubuntu 8.04.2 in July ’09. Not only that the the system took a performance hit all around! I had all the settings as shown here but still the problem persisted. In desperation I booted into ‘recovery mode’ and ran “gnome-config” at the command line in desperation. Ubuntu reported it was not installed. I installed it, rebooted and the gnome error message as described in these posts disappeared while the performance came back to normal. Thought I’d post in case anyone else has this issue.
