I ran into this a week or so back. It seems there is a race condition affecting the startup of the desktop. Some things are not starting till after at-spi has done what it needs to do to make thigns accessible. When it stopped for me, I thought that another update fixed it somehow. Now I know there is more than one person affected, I'll pursue this, and I should be able to get a fix in before the final release.

I will file a bug, and let you know the bug number, so you can confirm this as affecting more than one person. I will probably also need your help in testing a fix.

Thanks for bringing this up.
