I've seen this as well. It's OK the first time (after the firsttime wizard), but on subsequent logins it not only hangs around but "covers" anything else on the screen.

I had a similar problem with post-9.1 2.2 GNOME (circa May 18) where logging in and out of different userids would eventually cause a hang when you requested "logout". Well, not a true hang, but the logout dialog box would take about 5 minutes to come up.

In both cases, the "blockage" seems to "break" if you initiate enough other GNOME-related activity. In the older logout case, opening a GNOME terminal would trigger it. I haven't noticed a pattern in the new case.

It's like something is holding a lock and then decides to release it, or maybe a socket listener isn't listening closely enough...
