Public bug reported:

New Ubuntu 12.04 beta system installed as Gnome-based. XFCE environment
is preferred as Window manager, though.

When booting and logging in for the first time directly with XFCE
chosen, the desktop creation gets stuck as soon as the multiple virtual
screens should be shown in the respective sidebar. Only first screen is
displayed, and every opened window is placed in the top left corner,
without window manipulation handles. Leaving XFCE is only possible via
the kill key combination (Alt-Print-K).

If, after booting, a Gnome environment is chosen for the first login,
then left immediately, and then the 2nd login is an XFCE one, everything
seems to work alright. Once arrived in the working XFCE environment,
even frequent stand-by operation is working okay.

The detour via the first Gnome login seems to be an effective workaround
but is a real nuisance.
