When X does....nothing.

[dmorin at lear.morinfamily.com (Duane Morin)]

Here's some interesting new information I just discovered last night when 
I was home without a net connection.  X works just fine.  When I came into 
work this morning and eth0 came up, it went back to doing its hang thing.
So Gnome must be trying to do something over the net before it starts up?
Something that it can't do in a short period of time?
