The removal of at-spi-dbus.desktop from /etc/xdg/autostart corrects the 90 sec delay at boot but the tasks started by this desktop file are up and running after logon under both gdm and my userid.

Been having an intermittent problem booting (started on 16.04 and continues across multiple system rebuilds and 16.10) where just after entering my PW the screen goes blank for about 90 seconds. After that interval the normal desktop appears and all is well. Will supply a journal boot log of a failing boot (boot_0704.txt) and a normal boot log (boot_0704_good.txt). Do see in the failing log and all others that I have looked at a gnome-session timeout (time 06:16:41). Don't see this type of entry in the good log but haven't examined many non- failure logs.
