Description of problem: There is a strange delay when kdm starts up. First the X server starts, then kdm forks and then it seems to be waiting for something. There is no activity (disc or cpu usage) for several seconds until the greeter will show up. It looks like kdm is waiting for some timeout. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1.4-2 How reproducible: 100%
I just found out that the problem are the extra fonts I have installed (msttcorefonts). In particular it is not fedora related. I will file this upstream.
