Robin:
Here's the output of the "top" command while it's frozen at the login splash:
Unfortunately the top output does not show any particular processes consuming a lot of memory, so this indicates that the delay is not CPU bound. Note there is a bug about a very similar problem here: https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14857 This user reported a similar slowdown when starting the user session after authenticating. After analysis, it was determined that the slowdown was caused by the $HOME/.gconfd/saved_sate file growing too large. If you are seeing a slowdown when starting your user session, then does deleting this file improve things? If you are seeing the slowdown when the GDM login GUI is being shown, then try deleting the /var/lib/gdm/.gconfd/saved_sate file. The /var/lib/gdm directory is the $HOME directory of the "gdm" user, and the login GUI runs as this user. So if this file has grown too large, this could be your problem. I suspect that this might be your problem because in the logs you provided a few weeks ago, there were GConf errors similar to those reported in comment #7 of the above bug report.
