Description of problem: Enabling the new system-connections feature (with the keyfile plugin) on a wireless connection causes GDM to fail on boot (X loads, but the cursor spins endlessly, greeter never comes up). Logs indicate gnome-settings-daemon etc being unable to connect to display :0 As a test, I tried the identical configuration, but with a wired connection, and everything worked, so I think what's happening is that the longer time it takes to bring up wireless vs wired results in the connection being in partially-connected state when GDM starts. If I boot into runlevel 3, wait for NM to finish brining up the connection, then telinit to runlevel 5, it works, which seems to confirm the above suspicion. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc10.i386 gdm-2.24.0-12.fc10.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf to read "plugins=keyfile" 2. Apply appropriate PolicyKit voodoo 3. reboot 3. In nm-connection-editor, check "available to all users" and "connect automatically" on a wireless connection. 4. reboot Actual results: GDM's X session loads, but the greeter never comes up. Expected results: GDM greeter, successful login, world peace. Additional info: I'm not sure whether this bug should be filed against GDM in addition to/instead of NetworkManager.... or is it gnome-session, Xorg, something else?

This is probably hostname related; GDM doesn't handle hostname changes very well. Could you try assigning a hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network like so? HOSTNAME=mycomputer and then see if this problem continues?
