Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 14.04 on a Dell XPS 13 (2013). BIOS A04

After update through Software Updater this morning, this happens:

1. Boot computer, boot proceeds normally
2. Reach standard Ubuntu login screen, nothing seems to be amiss
3. Enter user name and password
4. Login disappears, just see the pink "Ubuntu 14.04" background

The desktop never loads, not even after ~30 minutes. The launcher never
appears, and the Desktop background never changes to the user-configured
background.

Other features:
* Cursor works fine for some time, then it freezes
* No error messages pop up
* ALT+F1 etc. CAN'T be used to switch to different TTYs
* Desktop does not load on any user accounts, including the guest account
* CTRL+ALT+DELETE does not work
* Hitting power button is the only way to turn off (not shut down) the machine

** Affects: at-spi2-core (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
