Honestly [member=7109]Moltke[/member] I'm not sure if the auto-login setting can be passed on through an upgrade if you have any PPAs installed, or applications like special video controllers. I know a newly installed upgraded OS will show the XFCE mouse background in the first boot when run in qemu but then return to the default OS settings after login. Sometimes this occurs when working from root in grub edit terminals too, but it is just the OS passing through root first before login. I would think it should return to normal after your first login and logout, but you would have to re-enable auto-login. When it stops at the XFCE (blue screen with the little mouse) you are still in root. The fact that you have to run startx is probably a caused by video configuration change issue and the fact that you had auto-login enabled when you upgraded.
