You should then be able to get a backtrace. I attached to the gdm subprocess, and found it stuck in run_pictures(). Is gdm supposed to use up 80-90% of the cpu? It seems to be stuck in this run_pictures loop after forking gdmlogin. This seems wasteful. Apparantly, the problem is in gdmlogin, but I haven't debugged that yet. It appears to simply hang after reading the username. I haven't looked at the code yet, but it is possible that there is some pending interaction with gdmaskpass, but that doesn't seem to be running... I will attempt more later. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
