Bug Description
This is fresh Natty install with previos home partition. Root and home partitions are on SSD. I have nVidia card.
After GDM is started it tries to log me in automatically as it is set to. However it never reaches the desktop. All I get is Ubuntu wallpaper and mouse cursor. By pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete I get back into GDM. The only session I can succesfully log into is the recovery console.
I tried installing Unity-2D from PPA, after I logged into this session the unity panels appeared for a while but they were blinking rapidly only to disappear completelly after I tried eg. launch an application.
I installed nvidia-current.
I tried temporarily removing ~/.config folder but nothing changed.
I tried installing Xubuntu-desktop but the system would not deliver anything but wallpaper either so I removed xubuntu* and xfce*
Finally installing Kubuntu-desktop I can log into Kubuntu session I am in now in. However I cannot launch Firefox, Chromium, Nautilus so I guess the problem is GTK or Gnome related.
Please ask for any additional files I can provide.
