I havent finished testing the patch but it appears that something is in a race
condition.
I fixed a shell to sleep 2 seconds then call gnome-keyring and it the gnome
desktop appears to come up just fine.

However, in reality I believe there are several flavors of this bug.

I believe it is a race contion for the following reason
After login my screen flashes, goes blank for about 1.5 seconds
then displays the gold/brown background and nothing else but the
mouse pointer which is movable.

I may be way off base here, but doesn't the screen go blank a result of
something making a request to the video driver,
likewise doesn't the gold/brown background that comes up next a result
of something making another request to the video driver?

I know I never have this bug when the hardware is not nvidia
