Today I have accidentally upgraded to systemd 197 (I was trying to avoid it because of this email). I can partially confirm this problem – after booting it takes quite some time (probably a few minutes) before X pops up. When the X finally starts, it shows the busy mouse pointer as you mentioned. However, for me KDM starts, even though it takes a while. Lukas
