Ok, could you please do the following steps, so we can attempt to gather some more information about the system that is having the problem in question.

1. Add my personal PPA to your sources.list http://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive
2. Update your system. This will pull in a slightly modified version of at-spi, for testing purposes.
3. Install the following packages: bootchart pybootchartgui
4. Enable automatic login. This can be found in System, Administration, Login Screen. This dialog is completely accessible, even after you unlock it so its fine to use.
5. Reboot your system. You will automatically be logged in.
6. Check in /var/log/bootchart. You should have a png file there, named with your computer's hostname and the date. Please get this file and attach it to this bug. Note that this file won't necessarily be present immediately after you are up and running at the desktop.

One other thing to try, is killing gnome-settings-daemon once you are logged in, and restarting it, and checking to see whether apps become accessible again. To do this, go to a terminal and type: killall gnome-settings-daemon. Once you do this, immediately press Alt + F2 to bring up the run dialog box, and run gnome-settings-daemon. Once done, please check apps that were not accessible before, i.e panel, desktop, etc, and let us know whether this has changed.

I am subscribing Martin Pitt to the bug who will hopefully be able to help us debug this problem further.

Thanks for your cooperation in fixing this.
