I had this bug on my Dell Inspiron laptop, which I upgraded from 11.04
to 11.10. I upgraded using the software tool, and the process threw an
error at the end related to nautlus-dropbox, though I couldn't tell if
that stopped everything from finish or what.

I implemented fix #24, as described above. Everything is now running
from /run symlinked to /run/lock, and it still is showing the error on
my boot. This is not fixing my problem. I'm considering wiping the
machine and reinstalling 11.10 from scratch, but color me very
disappointed. I quickly upgrade my machines every time Ubuntu blows the
trumpet, and I feel like I got let down on this one.
