Try following page 2 in this thread (hopefully the link takes you to page 2 already):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=854988
Page 2 of the thread has 2 fixes - one for your desktop effects, the second for a long delay black screen at boot.
I think this will fix your problem - if not please post back!
