Yes

Oops, forgot to update resolve.conf.  After checking I discovered that
the file didn't even exist so I created it.  That doesn't seem to have
fixed the problem though.

Yes - It seems that there are some problems with the creation of some
network sockets that are probably causing the pause during startup.  The
opening lines in the .xsession-errors file read:




--------------------------- Start -----------------------------------------

_IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.ICE-unix) failed, errno = 17
_IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners:  failed to create listener for local
_IceTransSocketINETConnect:  Can't connect: errno = 101
gnome-smproxy: unable to connect to session manager
_IceTransSocketINETConnect:  Can't connect: errno = 101

GnomeUI-WARNING **: while connecting to session manager:
Could not open network socket.
_IceTransSocketINETConnect:  Can't connect: errno = 101

----------------------------- End -----------------------------------------




This repeats for a while with something about not being able to run a
screensaver added in several lines down.  I presume that the network
socket error is the problem with startup, but am not certain how to fix
it.

Then, when I hit the logout button I get:




------------------------------- Start -----------------------------------

** CRITICAL **: file gsm-protocol.c: line 600 (gsm_protocol_new):
assertion `GNOME_CLIENT_CONNECTED (gnome_client)' failed.

** WARNING **: Could not connect to gnome-session.
_IceTransSocketINETConnect:  Can't connect: errno = 101

-------------------------------- End -----------------------------------
