Have you tried reinstalling ntpdate to check it's really its fault? I don't see how it could create delays when logging in. Also please attach /var/log/daemon.log and ~/.xsession-errors when the problem happens.

This results in a waiting loop (1 minute) after log in. I found a hint in the internet concerning NTP and NTPDATE. Therefore I deinstalled NTPDATE, AFAIK installed per default. After this the waiting loop is gone. Think that the package manager should do this automatically.
