Now I have this problem with fresh lucid install (installed from beta iso image from ubuntu.com). After the installation everything worked. After another reboot logging in at the gdm screen I got only a background, no panel, etc, whatsoever. From text console I've issued "xhost +" command and then "DISPLAY=:0 xterm" so I got an xterm window at least after change VT back to the X. Then I managed to launch "gnome- panel" and "metacity" for myself, however nautilus exits, maybe that caused the problem, that gnome login process hangs and I can't get anything but some background when gnome session is about launching nautilus?
