Title:
  [ubuntu lucid] Desktop unusable after upgrade from karmic

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Today (after release of beta1) I upgraded my netbook (Acer Aspire One
  110L) from Karmic to Lucid. Upgrade went smoothly, and after reboot I
  was offered the login screen. Login was successful, the ubuntu jingle
  sounded, but then the desktop showed nothing but the empty desktop
  background. After more reboots and killed Xorg servers, I got at least
  a desktop, but it is mirrored and flipped! The mouse behaves as usual,
  and I can move the mouse pointer over any icon, but they do not
  respond to a mouse click. (Apparently the sensitive area for a mouse
  response is elsewhere on the screen).

  When I login via the Gnome-failsafe option, everything on the screen
  is where it belongs.

  See attached screenshots for logins under Gnome and Gnome-Failsafe
