Comment 7 for bug 1595690

Investigating a cursor freeze problem in the new Software application, I found the following bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1578317

Comment #8 suggested that the login cursor freeze could be avoided by removing gnome-software-service.desktop from autostart by renaming the entry in /etc/xdg/autostart

I have done this and now my unity and gnome-flashback logons are all logging in successfully.

On my system this bug appears to be a gnome-software bug.
