Package: gdm Version: 2.20.10-1 Severity: normal So it's weird: I'm way farther away in time, but I see the same phenomenon. Starting gdm would get me to the prompt in a few seconds once X was started, back when I was in Lenny.
The odd thing is lenny also has gdm 2.20. So maybe the issue is lying somewhere else in the stack?
