Subject: 3.8-rc1: nouveau: X window session not starting

Not sure if it is a kernel issue or user-space. Truth is probably
somewhere in the middle. It popped up moving to 3.8-rc1 using nouveau.
Using nvidia's driver works fine. With nouveau, after entering login
credentials in lightDM the user session does not start and I am back at
the lightDM login screen. This is shown in the syslog:

I can start sessions for Xfce and 'Gnome Classic (without Effects)' so I
suspect compiz to fail. Did not try xcompmgr.
