For the record, I'm seeing this same LONG hang after starting an
X session every once in a while.
The X session is on my local are network.
I start something as simple as Xterm , then
I step to the Active connections screen, Press the Big X, and it turns darker.
Then there is a huge looong Hang. Long enough to get a screen shot, (not that its very enlightening).
Then finally the X background pops up.
By LONG I mean in excess of three minutes on wifi.
Then iSSH crashed.
Upon subsequently repeating these steps it was much faster.
