Aside from the follow-up discussion about startx not granting proper

which is probably not what's affecting Luya, as he says gdm is working
- the other probable cause of sluggish performance in F18 is the old
debug kernel issue. Remember, prior to Beta, most kernel builds have
debugging enabled, which ever since 2.39 or so has been _very_ slow
compared to non-debug modes (much more so than used to be the case).
Every so often the kernel team does a build with debugging disabled,
you might want to grab one of those builds and see if it resolves the
issue before filing a bug. If I'm reading the changelog right, the
latest non-debug build is 3.6.0-0.rc2.git0.1:

so give that one a shot.
Oh yes, that debugged kernel. Using the non-debug version improved the
performance of the DE (desktop environment). Thanks, Adam.
