Did you have any luck with bootchartd?
Well, no, I haven't tried it yet. Going to need sighted help for this one, so I'll try over the next few days...
Assuming you're using runlevel 2, please attach output of
ls -ld /etc/rc[S206].d/*
Wow.. there is quite a lot.
Eh, it's within sigma for a GUI laptop. I notice lot of them are KNN, which is unusual unless you're been explicitly disabling them e.g. update-rc.d foo disable.
Seems to boot to the prompt just fine, but it takes a little while when I try start gdm3.
OK, so then we start debugging /etc/X11/Xsession.d/, your .xsession or .xinitrc (if any), and wherever the gdm-specific session code is (probably /etc/gdm3/default.Xsession or something). I'd probably just drop some timing lines into those files willy nilly and see how they turn up in ~/.xsessions-errors. You *did* already look at .xsession-errors, right? If the problem code is further down the line than that, it means its somewhere in the gnome3 session code, which I'm not familiar with. IIRC there was a program called something like 'gnome-session' that used to start gnome-settings-daemon and nautilus and gnome-panel and friends, so I'd be looking for someting like that.
