How can we help track this down? Is the problem happening before or
after gnome-session is launched? Would it help to trace
/etc/gdm/Xsession?
The problem that is supposed to be fixed in -2 is that at-spi2-registryd
would get stuck in a recursive mainloop, waiting for a reply from a dbus
daemon that has already quit. This is all happening in the gdm session,
not in the user session.
One way to find out what is happening in your case may be to attach to
at-spi2-registryd with gdb, and obtain a stacktrace from it after
hitting enter in the password entry.
