I am having an interesting problem in my attempts to use an Everex
Cloudbook as a thin client on an HP Proliant DL380 G4 server running
Fedora 13.
I am able to PXE-boot the Cloudbook client to the login screen, but when
I login, things work for a few seconds and then I am returned to the
login screen. Further below are the messages that appear
in /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure, so you can see that this is
not a problem with a bad password or anything like that.
Unfortunately, the problem gets worse. Here is the output from top
several minutes later:

And it will keep adding gnome-panel processes running flat out each time
I attempt to login. I can bring this server to a crawl and get the fans
running at top speed just by attempting to login 20 or 30 times from the
CloudBook.
One note. The first time I logged in, it worked fine. Then I plugged
in an external monitor and had this problem. Now the problem occurs
with our without the monitor plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
