I created a brand new user, tried logging in: no delay.
I copied all the newly created files to the hanging account's .gnome2
directory (bub didn't delete any other files already there): delay.
I deleted the session manager entry from .gnome2/session: delay
I deleted .gnome2/session entirely: NO DELAY.
I'll keep an eye on it and see what is going on.
