Bug Description
I am not sure if this is a duplicate, but I'm definitely not the only one experiencing this issue. After doing an update to Intrepid from Hardy, I am experiencing a pause of about 20 seconds from when I enter my login until I see my wallpaper and the welcome-tune plays and then an additional 5 seconds before Gnome is ready. There is a thread on ubuntuforums flagged as solved but I do not believe that is the case as the problem has not been resolved but simply temporarily fixed:

The problem seems to be related to Compiz-Fusion because if I disable all effects the problem disappears, but I do not think this is a viable solution!
As I am a bit of a noob at Ubuntu, I am not sure what information you want in order to do some bug-fixing, but I have found a warning in the daemon.log which seems to be related to the issue:
Nov 1 22:55:01 morten-laptop x-session-
Nov 1 22:55:11 morten-laptop x-session-
Nov 1 22:55:21 morten-laptop x-session-
These warnings appear in the log just after I complete the login and the time seems to be the same as I am waiting for something to happen.
Again, if you need more information please tell me, I'll be happy to provide whatever you need, but as I said, I have no idea what that information would be!
My system is an Acer Aspire 5920G running a T7300 Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, a GeForce 8600 GS m (256 mb), 2 GB RAM and a 7200 RPM HDD, so I really doubt that the issue is due to the components.
I can confirm that this is also the case for 8.04 -> 8.10
