Bug Description
On both of my Ubuntu installations, a Gutsy (upgraded from Feisty) and a clear Feisty installed some days ago (and not fully updated yet), it takes a lot of time to login into GNOME if the computer's not connected to the Internet.
The splash screen hangs where it says "Nautilus" for a while, then displays the desktop but still showing the splash screen in the middle, and if there is any program that should start automatically, I can take minutes until it works. There are also other problems once it's booted, like that the "Exit" dialog doesn't work (it doesn't get displayed). If I connect while the splash screen is being displayed, it continues loading fully normal.
It seems the problem is caused by editing the /etc/network/

I've tried reverting that file to the original (followed by 'sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0') and then it started flawlessly even without Internet connection. Changing it back to the attached file, makes the problem reproducible again.
