First run on Ubuntu - Lazarus locks up

I have installed 1.6RC2 twice in the last few days, for various
reasons, and both times, on the first run, a small window comes up
with "Progress" in the title bar.  The window stays there forever.  I
eventually have to kill the process.  After that Lazarus starts up
ok.  Any ideas what that is all about?

I observed something similar.
It looked like the application was stuck, but in fact it was whole
mess of all the different windows on the screen and
a message window was behind somewhere waiting for an user input.

I also never understood the reason for having an entry for each window
in the taskbar. ( yes I know there is an option : "Show  only one
entry in the taskbar" but it's turned off by default)

DelphiFreak,

The first time it happened, my experience was similar to yours ... a
bunch of the regular IDE windows came up, with this small one as
well.  I vaguely recall the window said something about "Indexing"
something or rather.  There was no user input fields.

The second time was a bit different ... only the small window came
up.  No other IDE windows appeared.  After a few seconds the small
window went dark, and when I tried to close it a standard OS message
came up about the window being non-responsive.
