About 50% of the time the first login after boot has problems. The symptoms are a very slow login time and an inability to run certain applets (e.g. logout). The reason I suspect it is related to xauthorization problems is due to the .xsession-errors file produced which I have included below: ----.xsession-errors --- gnome-smproxy: unable to connect to session manager Gdk-Message: Got event for unknown window: 0 GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected.

This should be fixed in the latest gnome updates. Please download these from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates and reopen this bug if the problems still occur.
