Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
The version of GDM and its default theme in 9.10 preview features a tiny
white progress bar that is shown both before login, and against for
another ~15 seconds after login.
It is unclear what GDM is doing for all of this time as the background
is already drawn, and after the white bar disappears for the second
time, the main desktop has is not even rendered.
The lack of obvious activity gives the impression of this section of the
boot-up sequence being slower than in previous releases.
Ideally GDM should provide some indication of genuinely active activity
(or just display the bar immediately.
In previous releases, the busy mouse cursor has used, and this at least
allowed the user to *feel* that they could interact with the computer as
the mouse movement during this period was still instantaneous (even if
nothing could be clicked).
