Just curious, did you benchmark that with an average gnome desktop setup? I mean, if you add openoffice's quickstart and tomboy to the login process, it can easily take 20+ seconds to login (and maybe more than 30 if you add the deskbar-applet). 

In that case, I would guess that a 5 seconds delay for trackerd would not be enough. Something like 10-20 seconds of delay might reduce the risks (of meddling with the login process) further. What do you think?

(disclaimer: I have not done scientific benchmarks on this, just remembering my average login times. I'm also far from being a performance expert)
