Fresh Cooker install - tried Gnome and it works but the initial splash

What causes this?
I've seen this as well. It's OK the first time (after the firsttime
wizard), but on subsequent logins it not only hangs around but covers
anything else on the screen.
I had a similar problem with post-9.1 2.2 GNOME (circa May 18) where
logging in and out of different userids would eventually cause a hang
when you requested logout. Well, not a true hang, but the logout
dialog box would take about 5 minutes to come up.
In both cases, the blockage seems to break if you initiate enough
other GNOME-related activity. In the older logout case, opening a GNOME
terminal would trigger it. I haven't noticed a pattern in the new case.
It's like something is holding a lock and then decides to release it, or
maybe a socket listener isn't listening closely enough...
This may be daft (and unrelated) but I see this with the KDE spash screen when
its restoring a session. I find that simply clicking on it makes if go
away...
Mark.
