Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with LightDM and Unity with just one user. Since some days my login time (LightDM -> Unity) ist very slow, takes 30 seconds or so. This was not happening with new users I created for testing.
After a bit trial and error I found out that the process gsettings-data- convert which converts old GConf data to GSettings is called every login and takes too much time to exit. I removed /etc/xdg/autostart/gsettings- data-convert.desktop to disable autorun and from now I had a very fast login again. So I called gsettings-data-convert manually and it printed the some errors which I included in the attached file.
