Hi drago01,

thank you for your answer.

1. file ~/.cache/gdm/session.log does not exist

2. The usage of bootchart gives me no answer because

   a. the usage of other desktops like xfce shows no such delay,
   b. after logging out from the delayed login, a second login
      is marginal delayed
   c. the described behaviour does not appear for freshly
      (in F18) created users, but only for those users whose home
      dir has been imported (means copied!) from F17. Therefore
      I guess some file (or .file) in that user's home (or subdirs)
      is the culprit.

Kind regards
