I'm using Sid (on 686) up-to-date.
When I login (from GDM), the session takes a loooong time to get
somewhere, or does get completely stuck. It happens before the GNOME
splash screen, and I suspect it could be related to HAL/DBUS or esd.
Any idea?

Do you have any non-session aware programs like xset in your gnome
session? They can cause the login to hang for ages at gnome-smproxy.
Moving them to your .gnomerc file fixes the problem.
You could also try chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-smproxy. I did this after the
Gnome people announced that it would be removed from Gnome 2.12 for
general unreliability, and it greatly increased the reliability of
session restoration, and decreased the time it took to log in.
