ubuntu 10.04 (fresh install) was working good, before it was restarted after an
update this week.
from this point gnome does not load properly i.e. an empty desktop with a
background image appear. panels, desktop icons are not present. 10-30 secs
later a mouse pointer appear with a pop-up window without borders with an error
message:
"No system tray detected on this system. Unable to start, exiting.". after
clicking on OK button, mouse pointer turns into a black X and does not react
any more.
here is the output of the xsession-errors file:
$ cat ~/.xsession-errors
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=de_DE.
Start IM through /home/mariya/.xinput.d/de_DE linked to
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none.

1. however, keybord works, so I am able to switch to tty terminal and
from there I am able manually start gnome-panel, nautilus and with
DISPLAY=:0.0 <app-name>
2. I checked to ensure, that the file system is ok, by creating/touching
a file /forcefsck
