Fight ATSServer stall with autologin at startup
I see this problem frequently with designers systems where they're automatically logging in after restarting; all they get is the spotlight logo and maybe their desktop picture but no menubar.
More information...
For more diagnostic information, in the hopes of eventually troubleshooting this issue to eliminate the need for a quick fix, the Macs in question are running 10.4.2 to 10.4.5 and have Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite and Creative Suite 2 installed along with a slew of legacy fonts. However, the /Library/Fonts and /System/Library/Fonts folders have been pared down in accordance with Extensis recommended practices; there are no /Library/Fonts and /System/Library/Fonts just contains System, Keyboard, LastResort, and LucidaGrande. Suitcase XI v11.0.4E loads all its fonts from a separate disk image that the users mount at login, and the extra fonts installed by Microsoft and Adobe aren't present on that disk, although all the fonts that Adobe puts in /Library/Application Support/Adobe are present.

Yes this is a problem with the fonts system. We believe it is mostly Suitcase related. I routinely have this problem with designer's machines but not with other machines in the company.

That's good information. In our case, this is happening on stock machines without font-management software (beyond Font Book, of course). But it is happening only on accounts with networked home directories, so that is the common point between your situation and ours.
