is that still an issue? what version of libgnome-desktop do you use? that seems similar the bug which was fixed in that upload: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/3.5.2-0ubuntu2
"gnome-desktop3 (3.5.2-0ubuntu2) quantal; urgency=low * 02_refuse_to_break_GL_compositors.patch: check_gl_texture_size wasn't installed anymore because of two libexec_PROGRAMS in the same Makefile.am. This caused gnome-settings-daemon to timeout as it couldn't get MAX_GL_TEXTURE anymore and so, no theme, no integrated appmenu, long log in.
