There seems to be different problems reported at the same bug number here. One problem is caused by gnome-keyring. Killing gnome-keyring makes the boot proceed. The latest updates seem to solve the problem mostly for me, but I have experienced still at least one time where I had to kill gnome-keyring. This problem is related to bug #175682, and gnome bug #502603 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502603), and affects only users of gdm.

Then there seems to be some people where the bug is fixed by changing /tmp permissions, others change keyboard layouts, switch video drivers, and so on. Shouldn't those be separated, and each put in it's own bug, as it quite clearly must be completely different underlying problems? Just that the symptom is the same, log in hangs.

Just a thought, but I'm not the one in charge here though. ;-)
