interestingly - it seems like (for whatever reason) when I ran my straces, that
gdm had managed to do whatever it does to authenticate as me, and was then
blocking on gconfd.
gconfd appeared to be deadlocked from a signal handler, which was running some
nasty cleanup process taking the GContext lock (or something).
Unfortunately the gconfd trace was fairly unusable, and factory is knackered
wrt. installing any sort of packages just now (making life hard to debug).
Anyhow a killall -9 gconfd-2 caused the login process to resume & eventually
even complete.
