Please, no. It'd be a workaround which might not even completely fix the
problem.

To fix the bug we need to find out why gnome-session isn't moving
through the phases. In my investigations so far I've found out that
neither upstart (turned it off; still happens), the indicators (removed
as much of them as I could find, exported INDICATOR_ALLOW_NO_WATCHERS;
still happens) are to blame, gnome panel or gnome-session (reverted to
the 13.10 version; still happens). Something holds up gnome-session
until it hits a timeout, at which point the session continues to load.

Run gnome-session as gnome-session --debug and look at the log and
you'll see that.

I'd appreciate it if someone else could spend a bit of time on this too.

Cheers,
