Hang on here...,

I've not got a ~/.gnome/sound/system file.., Its still "moved out of the
way" currently.

Here's what grep'ing returns:
~/.gnome $ grep -r esd . 
./sound/oldsystem:start_esd=true
~/.gnome $

That's the file to which I moved "system" to so as to get it out of the
way.

My understanding is that I'm disabling esd start up, but moving that
system file out of the way, so that I can run startx without the delay -
then attempt to run esd from cmd line so as to enable sound *after*
successful fast Gnome login..,

If I've got that wrong.., let me know.., Just need to know that we're
both reading from the same page, as it were.

As for what's starting esd.., other than:
~/.gnome $ ps waux | grep -i esd
stacey 41742  0.0  0.2  1232  736  ??  Is   12:42AM   0:00.04 esd
-nobeeps
~/.gnome $

I haven't a clue.., That pid, by the way., appears to be what I ran
after logging in..., that was supposed to have failed!!!!!!!!
