Package: gnome-session Version: 2.10.0-4 Since upgrading to 2.10.0-4, I've had a long timeout on the default gnome login. It hangs after with the splash screen up, after displaying the icon and text for "metacity window manager", but I don't know if that means that metacity is the problem, or if the next thing it is trying to start is what's not working.
This might be related to #297937, but it's just happened recently, and the workaround mentioned there doesn't seem to work for me. Anyway, I straced the entire login process (available on http://www.horizon.com/debian/strace.out.bz2) and saw a 2 minute interval in the middle when nothing was happening, and a 120000 ms timeout to poll() is gnome-session (/usr/bin/x-session-manager). I don't know the protocol well enough to see if something else is supposed to be waking up gnome-session, but it's definitely the one that decides how long to wait. This is a 100% stock vanilla system. I suppose I could create a new user just to check the absense of any configuration, but I'd like to send this off first.
