Public bug reported: The problem I am reporting showed up in mid august approximately. Until then everything was working fine.
When I login through the graphical login screen the desktop does not load. Instead the ubuntu wallpaper is displayed with no other desktop elements (panel, dash, ...). My custom wallpaper is also not displayed. The cursor shows as "loading" and the display turns black and back to the default wallpaper a couple of times. After that nothing happens. Logging into the classic mode works. I am using pam-mount to mount my encrypted home partition. When logging into the first tty I noticed that I don't get to the shell immediately. Instead the prompt says: Last login ... Welcome to Ubuntu ... * Documentation ... (arg: 7) Pressing Ctrl+C brought me to the shell. Some kind of login script seems to wait for input. Maybe that is related to the problem with the desktop session. I am happy to provide any other information needed to track this down.
