To all reproducers:

The openSUSE 11.2 online metacity fix released yesterday seems to fix autologin
issues. But it seems to break standard login on some machines.


If you can reproduce the autologin issue, please verify that metacity online
update from yesterday is installed. Please report this problem only if you can
reproduce autologin problem _with_ this fix.


Hang while logging in after manual login seems to be a new issue after this
fix. Please report this problem only if you can reproduce manual login problem
_without_ this fix.


In both cases above, symptoms are the same: Screen with just an background and
X mouse pointer.

However symptoms are the same, the technical background is completely
different: Autologin hang is a race condition that causes hang in metacity
calling illegal functions. Manual login hang seems to be caused by a race
condition with two window managers at a time.


And well, there is another race condidion that causes hang while suspending or
halting GNOME: bug 540482
