startup problem
Whenever I restart my PowerBook 867mhz 12" it goes through the startup process until i see my desktop picture (no dock, menu bar or finder items) and hangs there with the spinning beachball for about 3-4 minutes.
I first noticed this after upgrading to 10.3.6. Upgrading today to 10.3.7 did not help this. I don't restart often, but when I do this is infuriating.
I have no 3rd party mods running, and no startup items. I've tried fixing permissions.

Any ideas of what to try next? Otherwise my system works fine.

Check also /Library/StartupItems.
Do you have a huge tif or eps as your desktop picture?

this is exactly the same as my 600 MHz iMac G3! It's getting really annoying now.
