What kind of system are you running? GDM is a little piggish, but I can't see 15 seconds on hardware anything close to modern.

Have you setup /etc/hosts correctly?

My /etc/hosts:
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
10.32.10.111 localhost.localdomain localhost
# End of file
My /etc/rc.conf:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING

#
HOSTNAME="localhost"

Why don't You have 127.0.0.1 as localhost? It's not a big difference but mayby ...
Offline
whoah. localhost not pointing to the actual loopback interface will slow all kinds of internal things down.
fix it!

/etc/hosts
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.24.77 Komp_607.DS14 Komp_607
/etc/rc.conf:
#
HOSTNAME="Komp_607"

lo 127... localhost should be left as is. Do not put there your hostname!
Offline
Now my /etc/hosts is
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
and my /etc/rc.conf is
#
HOSTNAME="Picollus"
#
i have the same problem... gdm start and the mouse pointer is searching for 15-20 sec !!!

Try this:
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 Picollus.localdomain Picollus

it is actual my settings now... no changes !!!...
Are we only 2 persons with this problem ?

All /etc/hosts i saw are wrong!!
it must be in the format below suppose that the hostname in rc.conf is set to MYHOSTNAME
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost MYHOSTNAME
so as u can see, you must LEAVE the localhost as .DOMAIN and a seperated entry plus u add to it your hostname, try it this way

I have it this way, that works fine too:

See my post on this one, that relates to kdm, maybe same problem:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=19923&start=15
my solution on the last page was to install the speedo fonts, and it made it go from one minute delay to 5 seconds. Maybe it also affects gdm too.
Offline
i set up my hosts file correctly now... but the same problem...
There is no log file related to gdm that i can see if something can help my search !
I have the same problem in 2.14 and 1.12
I have tried both
Offline
Try installing this, it solved my kdm problem which was similar to your gdm problem.
pacman -Sy font-bitstream-speedo
then I went from one min delay to 5 seconds. I posted the link in my previous post, but I guess you didn't get chance to read the solution before you posted to say you still have problems.
Offline
your solution is not the real solution
Why is work ! Because it regen a font cache
To solve the lag in DM :
fc-cache -fv
It is nothing related to Hosts file or netwoking
Offline
elapoints can you try also DTW excellent script here -> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=146788#146788

After all, now GDM takes 1-3 seconds to start. BTW, the fc-cache thing improve the system performance, but my /etc/hosts was repaired too.
