Public bug reported:

I was testing 14.04 using XFCE and Xubuntu desktop sessions. After
logging users in, they would only be presented with a desktop background
and no running session. Their /tmp/.xdc_cache_$USER/upstart/dbus.log
showed:

/proc/self/fd/9: 4: /proc/self/fd/9: cannot create 
/path/to/user/home/.cache/upstart/dbus-session: Directory nonexistent
/proc/self/fd/9: 4: /proc/self/fd/9: cannot create 
/path/to/user/home/.cache/upstart/dbus-session: Directory nonexistent
/proc/self/fd/9: 4: /proc/self/fd/9: cannot create 
/path/to/user/home/.cache/upstart/dbus-session: Directory nonexistent

I killed the user sessions, modified
/usr/share/upstart/sessions/dbus.conf, and was then able to successfully
login.
