(1) when users with tcsh as default shell (tcsh users) try to login to desktop, only xterm window without top bar appears. It is invoked as `xterm -T Failsafe'. (2) users with bash as defalut shell (bash users) have got no problem; they can start their desktop session very soon.
These symptoms are invariably caused by POSIX-ignorant shell script writers who fail to specify #!/bin/sh as first line in their bash code. Unspecified scripts are executed by $SHELL, for tcsh users, tcsh ===> very big barf. Btw this is not AMD64 specific.
