Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libnss-ldap

System : Maverick RC

Steps to reproduce:
- Install libnss-ldap and set it up correctly
=> Gnome sessions should work normally for a local user
- Plug the computer in an other network or unplug it 
=> the ldap server should be unreacheable
- Click on the full name of a local user in GDM
=> The password prompt doesn't appears immediately. This isn't the expected result
- Enter the password and login
=> Startup sound start about 15 seconds later. 20 seconds after logged in, the gnome-panel and the sound menu appears, but the sound is considered as mute an the sound menu doesn't appears when clicking on it.

Expected results:
- "getent passwd" may give a result immediately (the is a delay of 1 second)
- gdm should prompt for the password immediately
- the sound menu should work normally

Workaround: install libnss-ldapd that use nscd with some cache
mechanisms that provide the expected results above.
