Comment 8 for bug 84226

This happens at my installation too (getent gives ~10k registered users). When logging with a local user and the network disabled all is ok, but if the network is enabled the panel freezes on login and the fast-user-switch-applet task runs at 100%. Now, I can't remove the package as ubuntu-desktop depends on it, and while I've removed the applet from the default environment, there is no easy way to remove it from users desktops automatically on login...
