18 second delay during login

[Robert Dinse]

     I am experiencing an 18 second delay during login between the time the X-server and saved applications start, and the background, panels, and rest of the Mate desktop draw.

     I have tried new user with no configuration to eliminate user configuration date. I've tried
different desktop environments to eliminate them. I've tried different greeters and different
display managers. Symptoms don't change.

     Out of desperation I grabbed the most recent systemd off of github and compiled and installed
it, version 243 verses version 240 shipped with Ubuntu 19.04.

     With version 243 login no longer has delay but audio breaks. The fact that replacing systemd
got rid of the delay tells me the delay is in that package. I can find nothing in the logs that
would give me a clue as to what is wrong, no errors in that time frame, in fact NOTHING logs during
that interval.

      I've included them per your request but I do not think it will help
much because the issue isn't boot time, that happens in about 4 seconds,
it's login time, and specifically the time between when the X server starts
and displays saved apps and when it gets around to drawing the panels and
background.
