Comment 5 for bug 439316

I do see what seems like a splash screen during boot, although it says "kubuntu" (i think is because i selected both ubuntu desktop and kubuntu desctop during installation -- btw, shouldn't that depend on the default DM?)
it disappears almost immediately, and then we have the lockup i described.
there isn't anything with "splash" in the name running when gdm is starting up.
i attach output of "pstree -ap", you may find it useful.
