I was able to recreate this on a new install after two that did not
screw up.  This issue is that X hangs coming up without a cable attached
to the NIC ( dhcp configured eth0)

THis did not happen until I upgraded to the latest xorg-x11 vi yum.  I
have filed a bug but it might help if someone else can verify it.

do other mac mini users have problems bringing up X if the box is booted
with no ethernet cable?

Please add comments to bug

I hava also seen intermittent long delays waiting for the dialog when
selecting the desktop->logout menu item.  Feed back on this will help me
decide if this is a bug needing to be filed or not.

Thanks,
