On Debian/Unstable I see:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_paint_box: assertion `style->depth == 
gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed at /usr/share/xtlf/xtlf.pl line 1589.

No, you don't. As explained by Rein in an earlier message, xtlf takes about 10 
seconds to start on his machine. I think this is mainly caused by the use if 
Perl. Perl being an interpreted language, it just isn't very fast.

I am using a 700 MHz AMD, xtlf takes 15 seconds to load...
