(Get the code!)
I also have this Problem (freeze 10 to 60 seconds after graphical logon) on my Pentium 4 Dual Core, using an SMP kernel in combination with a Radeon 7000, using the "ati" or "radeon" driver in my xorg.conf.
I recently uninstalled my debian (which I was using for 3 years until last week quite luckily), because I did an upgrade to testing (gaining newer applications) and the error occured after that. Because I thought the testing version was the problem, I switched to Ubuntu 6.06 and everything went fine with the 386 kernel, but having installed the 686 kernel, the freeze came again.
Then I installed an arch linux and the error occured once again using gnome, also using twm (instead of gnome with metacity).
So, now I conclude that the free radeon/ati driver is the problem. Using "vesa" drivers is not really an option, because I cannot use vertical refresh rates higher than 60 Hz, what is really an ugly flickering. After turning off the "dri" option, the radeon driver does well, but dri would be really nice when playing tuxracer or so.
