Nigel,

late response to an old thread, but in case this helps...

I had a similar problem on one laptop running Ubuntu and Gambas about 18
months ago. Gambas would essentially 'hang' for about 1 minute while
loading. That problem turned out to be something to do with CUPS. Once the
config for the local CUPS config was commented out, Gambas loaded in
seconds.

You may be facing a similar issue.
