Building workspace message on startup

When I start Rational in the morning it gives me a "User Operation is Waiting" 
screen that has a "Building workspace" message and then a progress bar.  Also 
in the same window it has a "Remote System Explorer - Eclipse Platform" message 
with a progress bar.  This sometimes takes awhile to go away and then the 
workspace is the way I left it when I closed it the last time.  I have also 
tried closing everything down before I shut down Rational and it still gives me 
that message when I bring Rational back up.

Most of the time Rational seems to work fine after this, but this message and 
waiting gets annoying. Sometimes, when this message takes a long time to go 
away, I have delete and rebuild the contents of my configuration folder 
otherwise I loose my help, and I get exception errors in RSE.

The other employees that use Rational in the office do not see this and we all 
have new PC's.

Has anybody else seen this type of behavior?

Thanks in advanced,

Jeff
