Bug Description
The title is pretty self-explaining.
I try to log in, input my username/password and then hit enter -- desktop begins to show up and nothing happens. I can still move mouse, but there is just plain brown background without anything. So I press Alt+Ctrl+Backspace and repeat from the first step a couple of times before I actually log in.
The same problem happens to, for example, gnome-screensaver. When I press Alt+Ctrl+L or select 'Lock screen', it works fine. Then I move mouse/hit some key and authorization windows pops up. I input my password, it says 'authentication...' and it may stay this way frozen until I press Alt+Ctrl+Backspace to log out.
Notable: if I input wrong password, the screensaver also may hang.
I think this bug may be a duplicate of https:/
Additional information:
Hardy Heron Alpha 2;
GNOME 2.21.4;
gnome-screensaver: 2.20.0-2ubuntu1;

Console-based programs (sudo) and some graphical-based ones (gksudo) DO work normally.
