OK. I did a few tests.
First, I grabbed an strace of X starting.
This is one of the most important bits:
13:21:04.068869 munmap(0x7fe4a5bb8000, 4096) = 0 <0.000012>
13:21:04.068906 stat("/dev/nvidia0", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660,
st_rdev=makedev(195, 0), ...
}) = 0 <0.000011>
13:21:04.068961 open("/dev/nvidia0", O_RDWR) = 10 <30.738143>
13:21:34.807159 ioctl(9, 0xc040464d, 0x7fffadbbc5c0) = 0 <0.000023>
13:21:34.807228 open("/proc/interrupts", O_RDONLY) = 11 <0.000028>
There is a 30 second day opening /dev/nvidia0.
Then, if this happens, kdm times out (gdm does not, I just tried and found
out):
kdm[3438]: X server startup timeout, terminating
kdm[3438]: X server termination timeout, killing
kdm[3438]: X server for display :0 can't be started, session
disabled
kdm[4968]: X server startup timeout, terminating
kdm[4968]: X server termination timeout, killing
and so on.
If I check /var/log/kdm.log, this is what I see:

^^^^ here it restarts, after 30 seconds.
So. Pending issues:
1. the weird interaction with interactive boot scripts
2. the *slow* restart of X.
In the meantime, I have X up and running so I can (try) to get some work done.
Thanks again for your help, hopefully we can get the rest of these issues
resolved.
I hope to get the nv driver working someday, it's not worked since 10.3 for me.
:-(
