This problem disappeared and reappeared and disappeared and reappeared and disappeared for no apparent reason, until about two weeks ago. Since then the delay is gone, so I guess this has bin fixed (unintentionally?).

I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 amd64. The 20 second delay is clearly visible in the attached bootchart, seconds 21 to 41. This corresponds with two distinctive points on the Xorg bar, and also with the start times of lightdm (at second 21) and xfce4-session (at second 41). I already asked about this on the technical answers system ( https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/204795 ), actionparsnip suggested reporting a bug against xorg. I mentioned experimenting with connecting and disconnecting displays in that thread: At one point there was no deley, when only one display was used and it was connected to the upper of two HDMI ports. I cant preproduce this behavior anymore howerver. Now the delay is always there, no matter what display is connected to what port. Graphics hardware: Sandy Bridge integrated, Intel HD 3000.
