After reinstalling 8.04 for the third time, I made sure not to run any of the security updates. However, on restart the same thing happened (no desktop on login), so it seems the problem is not in the security updates, but in the upgrade/installation itself. Since I couldn't get 8.04 to work I reverted to 7.10, so any log files were deleted.
I have 8.04 on my desktop and there it works fine.
