No desktop after logging in. All was fine with Karmic Alpha 4 until after a regular update (beginning of September, so before the release the Alpha 5) I was not able to reach my desktop any more. After logging in the screen went black for a few seconds (as usual) but instead of my desktop, the login screen appeared again. I've tried Alpha 5 now but the same happens. I can only use Alpha 4 with no updates.
