Removing compiz did not solve the problem for me. As a workaround, disabling DRI in xorg.conf seems to allow a user to log in normally. Compiz will not work in this case and rendering is noticeably slower. My graphics card is:

Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)

I believe this has been traced to a bug in the xorg intel driver and needs to be fixed upstream.
