Bug Description
I've upgraded to oneiric to test the new not-yet-ready version of ubuntu. However since then I cannot log in at the lightdm (btw I tried to use gdm too, the result is the same) screen. A window (without borders) appear that failed to load session "ubuntu". The result is the same, if I try to use alternative options like Ubuntu 2D, Gnome, Gnome classic, Gnome without ubuntu specific, etc etc etc. Just the message is different (the session name in the message). Now I am writing from fluxbox WM, since it was able to load at least. If I try to launch eg gnome-terminal from a terminal in fluxbox, I get:
lgb@orion:~$ gnome-terminal
Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to activate configuration server: The name org.gnome.GConf was not provided by any .service files
.xsession-errors file is attached.

Btw, I also created a new user, and tested with that, to be sure that no user config files etc can cause problems, but the result was the same.
