Thanks for the tip ... in fact is something strange : i forgot about mc
and after ~45 seconds it appeared on the screen.
In trace file i see a lots of
time(NULL)                              = 1198533795
stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2195, ...}) = 0
I run an strace -c but total seconds is 0.002628 which is very strange
as i count 45 second from command to GUI drawing.
this is from strace -c
% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 86.68    0.002278         456         5           statfs64

------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00    0.002628                  1605       169 total


also an strace -cf
% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 91.57    0.054312         936        58        26 waitpid

------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00    0.059310                  6280       921 total

What can i do more?
Thanks for your help!!
