Roaming profiles are not enabled for the PC users, and My Documents has been
redirected.

Have you checked the profile-size of the problem users?

I had some users that were saving gigabyte-sized-folders on their
desktops filled with mp3-files and movies(...), before I enforced
the 30MB profile-limit GPO in our AD.

Also check if the users have a my documents-folder in the profile,
it might be filled with tons of documents. Better redirect this
folder to the users homefolder, so that it doesn't get sent back
and forth all the time.

HTH.

On Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients, we are seeing times in excess
of 15 to 20 minutes before the user reaches their desktop.  This is
only from standalone PCs, not from Terminal Services sessions.  It
is not happening to everyone.  For instance, I can log in fine from
my desk, but my boss, who has the same permissions, same OU, same
GPO, same switch card on the backbone, everything, has to wait 15
to 20 minutes to get his desktop... 
 
9x clients get a message stating "Unable to load
<DC>\netlogon\config.pol.  Please contact your system
administrator." 
 
 
Can anyone provide any insight?  I removed an AD controller
yesterday, but according to ADSIEdit, LDP, and ntdsutil, the
removal went just fine, no issues.
