Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is there anyway to (pre)load gnome-
shell before getting user account login dialog from gdm?  The
problem is after login from gdm I have to wait for gnome-shell
to be ready with non-responsive , no status feedback desktop
background.  I found that waiting for gdm to show-up during boot
process is acceptable but I was expected to get a ready-to-use
gnome-shell instantly after entering password to the login
dialog instead of another waiting.  I am using Fedora and Arch.
PS. The graphical loading progress in KDE could provide better
expif they shown before login dialog too.  share|improve this
question How about auto-login (gdm3 can do that) and a screen-
lock in the autostarted applications? (This is probably not very
secure, but might be a quick solution.) –  sr_ Sep 6 '12 at
