I have encountered this same bug delaying login with Ubuntu Gnome 16.04, 16.10, and 17.04. I am happy to apport-collect if that would be helpful.
I can also confirm that commenting out "load-module module-bluetooth- policy" and "load-module module-bluetooth-discover" successfully worked around the problem for me and also stopped the apport crash report dialogs that I was getting at every login about pulseadio crashing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1596344 Title: pulseaudio causes long login delay waiting for bluetooth Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Kubuntu 16.04 -- I was experiencing a long delay when logging in, on the order of 20+ seconds. After entering the password on the splash screen, it would stay there before showing the desktop. journalctl revealed a timeout form pulseaudio waiting for a bluetooth service (I don't not use bluetooth, and it is disabled, but I believe I saw this even when I enabled it?)

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. I can fix the problem by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa and commenting out both bluetooth lines ("load-module module-bluetooth-policy" and "load-module module-bluetooth-discover" -- not sure if both are actually necessary.) I have seen other bugs relating to blocking calls to bluetooth causing problems. Perhaps there are a few left.
