Hi,
From previous concersations I assume a lot of folks here use KDE. I
run mostly stable and just updated to kde-4.10.5 which included an
update to kdm. It now seems that I'm plagued by a more than 2 minute
delay from entering my password until KDE flashes up the box showing
that KDE is starting up. Once KDE is up and running everything seems
normal. There are no messages in /dev/log/message that identify any
problems. Just a 2+ minute delay before much of anything occurs.
Here's a small snippet of message showing the basic delay:

I Googled around for a while and got curious about whether this was
really a KDE problem so I emerged xfce4. It has the same 2 minute
issue so this appears to me more of a kdm issue as best I can tell
right now.
It's not anything obvious (to me) with networking delays as I can
sit in the console and ping web sites. No delays there. I got back to
the GUI and it's just waiting. I ran iotop in a console and there's
nothing going on. The machine is just hung for a couple of minutes.
This just started in the last couple of days with this month's KDE release.
Thanks,
Mark
