This was with regard to libgtk1.2; that's what you meant to say,
right?

Either way, same result. Using startx, on the other hand, the X-server
comes up in less than a minute. The X-server log reveals lots of
modules being loaded; this is the initial load time I'd be worried
about. It doesn't seem reasonable that xdm should take so much longer
than this.
Update: I just tried it again, and xdm actually takes 3-1/2 minutes to
bring up the X-server, and during this time it's eating 98% of the
CPU. Try this:
# /etc/init.d/xdm start ; top
Then you can watch the CPU utilization until the video mode changes;
better yet, do it through a telnet session. I bet that your machines
are doing the same thing as mine, only faster.
