OK guys, I have a fix to hold us over until the gdm/plymouth/mountall
debacle is over.

1) If you get kicked to terminal, type 'sudo startx' to go log into the 
x-server as root.
2) Goto synaptic package manager, and find gdm, gdm-guest-session and 
plymouth-x11.  Mark both for uninstall.
3) Find xdm and mark for install. 
4) Click on apply changes.  A little config screen will pop up asking you to 
select the default, choose xdm (second choice).
5) Reboot, you should be able to login as normal even tho the screen looks 
different.  For some reason, the colors in X11 were kinda messed up for me, but 
who cares until a better fix comes out.  

Yes I know this solution isn't elegant, but if you want your desktop back do as 
I say!
