Do you mean that you've done something pretty close to what I do and
haven't seen it? In particular, are you building F11 live cds?

Yes, with updates

Trying that now, but will take some time to download the release rpms.

Including updates can be the only thing making a difference. No other
changes.

livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --noverify --overlay-size-mb 900
--home-size-mb 1024 --unencrypted-home $ISOFILE $DRV
Yes, the overlays are blank on bootup.

Yes. But it is certainly nothing to do with that particular user or the
autologin. I first noticed this with the exam USB sticks I was creating,
where there was no autologin, and a password. Same thing. I tried
gradually undoing my changes from the standard F11, and discovered that
it happened even on the standard one.
> Is ctrl-alt-f2 working? Is caps lock toggling as usual?
Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't work, and nor does the power button (other than by
holding it in). Good Q about caps lock. I suspect the answer is no, but
I'll find out. The machine I'm sitting at at the moment doesn't have
LEDs.

Don't know how to tell if they're hanging. I tried killing gnome-session
but it made no odds. There are lots of liveuser processes... not sure
which other ones to try killing.
