The noauto/mount in rc.local does work, and that is how I am currently working around the issue.
However, this is a workaround and NOT a solution. There is no reason mounting network shares in fstab should not work, and it worked fine in Breezy. Upgrading from Breezy gives the impression that Dapper is "broken". To a novice user, there is nothing in the symptoms of this bug (long load time with no taskbar/nautilus) that points to a network share as the problem. This bug is a regression from Breezy, and I am very surprised that it has not received developer attention after nearly 2 months.
