Hi,
I have a similar phenomenon on a system S of mine:
For user A, The "logout" panel button or menu item results appears to
do nothing, but after a wait of 90..120 seconds the "Are you sure you
want to log out" dialog finally appears. This may possibly be
connected to the splash image not disappearing after startup
automatically (it disappears after a mouse click on it).
For a newly created user B on the same system S, however, the dialog
appears instantanously. (A newly created user has to manually choose
the session type in gdm the first time, though, otherwise
gdm/metacity/gnome/whoever will just show a grey screen.)
Oh, and on another system T of mine there is a similar phenomenon,
also linked with gnome-session:
For user C, logging in with gdm will start gnome-session and
gnome-sm-proxy (the session manager icon will be shown), and then the
system will wait at 0% CPU for a period of someting like those 90..120
seconds, before finally starting up the rest of gnome.
For anoter user D on system T, gnome starts up without that wait.
Both systems S and T run:
gnome-session 2.8.1-6
metacity 2.8.8-1
gdm 2.6.0.8-1
All those phenomena happen every time, regardless of reboots, etc.
And I have no idea where and how to start debugging.
Appended is the process list on system S, waiting for the "Are you sure you
want to log out" dialog to appear.
HTH,
Uli
