Comment 50 for bug 996791

The patch in the OP worked for me (12.04.01, x64) until two days ago; after performing a regular system update the slooow login returned. I tried the fix in post #48 in this thread; it worked once (after I rm both directories) but no more (even after I tried to rm the directories again). I went back to the ubuntuforms link in the OP and the fix in post #40 there works (for now): After lightdm comes on, switch to tty1 and 'sudo pkill accounts'. This survives logout (so far) but not restart/reboot.

I have sent along several logs in case this would help squash this veeery annoying bug.
