Bug description:
  I have a laptop that was upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty. When it comes
  up from cold boot is ends up with failsafe X more often than not.
  Failsafes/normal boots are about 60%/40%. If I restart KDM it always
  starts properly. I havent found any indikation from the logs about the
  reasons of initial failsafe. It feels like the normal session is not
  even tried or if it is it fails before even logging something.
