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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
