Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
In Hardy I'm getting a hang almost every time when I click XDMCP login from the gdmgreeter, there is about 5 lines of text on the screen, the last line is 'running local boot scripts etc rc.local'. The same thing sometimes happens more rarely on shutdown. Pressing the power button makes another line, i think its 'shutting down gdm' appear, but then it just hangs at that. Related, I think, is that I see the same 5 lines of text briefly when I logout, between gnome and gdmgreeter. On my other PC I just get black screen between gnome and greeter.

I do experience the same problem and hope there will be a solution within a reasonable time.
Smooth XDMCP logins are very useful for professional environments. Unfortunately such small but very visible problems undermine the confidence on Linux and on Ubuntu for professional environments.
