Maybe so.

When I emailed earlier that adding "sleep 10" to my /etc/init.d/gdm
script fixed the problem, I celebrated a little too quickly. It worked
for a while, but doesn't work any more. An earlier reporter's assertion
that removing the preload package, as well as my temporary experience of
the sleep command fixing the problem, makes me think that it's somehow
related to service load order and maybe disk speed -- maybe the login
command is reporting that the system hasn't finished starting up yet.
Anyway, perhaps if you build a system with the same packages as mine
you'll be able to reproduce it. I've attached my list.
