Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
On one of my machines, ck-history takes 20 seconds to run. During this
time, gdm displays no users at all.
The problem has become even worse with the last (I think) gdm upload -
now gdm doesn't even display "Other..." whilst waiting for ck-history,
so it's impossible to log in at all until it completes.
Consider the average desktop usecase - there will exist very few human
users, and they may be readily identified by simply taking all those
lying in the uid range 1000-29999. This audience would be best served if
the user list was populated without waiting for time consuming
operations, using a simple alphabetic sort of the few human users
existing on the system.
