Does anybody have a solution for this slow desktop problem?
The last 1 weeks or 2, moving around in the gnome panel has slowed a lot. What was a 1 second delay switching from workspace 1 to workspace 2 now takes 30 seconds.
Inside the applications like gnome terminal processing is fast, Thunderbird and Firefox do seem to have slowed but Kate, Kaffeine work fine.
Dragging and dropping into workspaces takes 15-30seconds but by using the drop down box the speed is normal.

And the general log, look for disk related errors.

Embarrassed to say the /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn were reporting pulseaudio daemon failed to start. Fixing that seems to solve the delays and polkitd problems.
Thank you and Malcomlewis for the 2nd eyes reminding me to start with the basics.
