Sounds like DNS.
At a guess, I would try adding your hostname to the /etc/hosts file and
set either a permanent IP address, or use 127.0.0.1
John.
I agree with John: the communications between the server and the client
under X are trying to resolve the hostname which fails and they have to
wait for the DNS query timeout.
The solution is to put the hostname on the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts
If you want to be able to call the "official" address, put the full
hostname.domain on a separate line on /etc/hosts
I feel my english writing skills not adequate, so I write an example to
explain better:
/etc/hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 linux localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 linux.mydomain.com
so if I ping linux I ping the loopback address; if I ping
linux.mydomain.com I ping the ethernet address.
As I know GDM and X uses the short name, hence the "trick": even if the
ethernet cable is unplugged (and 192.168.0.1 doesn't exists) all is fast
and working.
