OK, I see a couple of seconds of blackness on a Xeon desktop still (even
after the dbus fix landed) so it's easy to extrapolate that a VM will
have even more noticeable blackness.
This is possibly related to Unity8 setting up/compiling QML things.
Although it would be nice to have transitions in USC (and that's the
whole point of it existing and the nested architecture), that's probably
just a "nice to have" on the USC side. I would like to be responsible
for that too, as native GL animation is something close to my heart and
what I've been working toward in the Mir architecture for years.

Bug description:
This makes me worry there's something gone wrong on every login.
It's only this slow on a cold boot. It's somewhat faster on a second
login.
It'd be nice for there to be something like:
* Splash screen
* Progress bar
* User's wallpaper (blurred?)
during this time.
Maybe it's faster on bare metal, but I'm waiting a while in a Qemu VM.
== Note ==
The experience might differ depending on whether you use unity-greeter
(X11-based, default in 17.04) or unity8-greeter (not installed by
default yet), which is better suited for this.
