My turn.  I've been using openbox with gnome for quite a long time, and I 
upgraded one of my systems to 2.10 a few days ago.  I have indeed had lots 
of problems with gnome's splash screen, but that's turned off.  And I 
don't use nautilus (use gconf-editor to get it not to draw the desktop). 
Without nautilus, gnome loads quite quickly.
