Public bug reported: After login either a black screen or the wallpaper is displayed for 30 seconds before the desktop arrives. The desktop is functional, but the menu bar cannot be edited.
I would expect no delay, and the abillity to add items to the menu bar etc. Syslog gives the following entries: Sep 28 11:30:40 U033321 gnome-session[25272]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop' failed to register before timeout Sep 28 11:30:40 U033321 gnome-session[25272]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry.... This is Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.4 I am using Light-dm, with gnome-fallback or unity. The workstation is joined to a Microsoft AD domain using winbind with idmap_ad backend. The user homedirectories are stored on an NFS4 server which are mounted from the fstab.
