My start screen also shows Xubuntu. Originally I installed Xubuntu some
years ago (I think it was 6.04). But I use ubuntu-desktop for a long
time. Maybe this is somehow related?

Is anybody affected who never used Xubuntu?

Reply for #23:
Unfortunately I can't test the fix since I already changed ownership.

Bug description:
  Each time I upgrade to a newer ubuntu on a particular machine, something breaks. Last time I was unable to log in via GDM and I have to reinstall the machine. This time, I upgraded to oneiric today, and, of course, lightdm cannot start unity nor unity-2d: after entering a correct password it just restarts itself.
