[X4U] Problems booting into User

[Mark Des Cotes]

Hi all,

A co-worker is having a problem with his OS 10.4.8 Mac. When he  
reboots, the system only goes so far then stops. Everything goes  
smoothly until his blue desktop background shows up and a little icon  
for Spotlight appears in the top right of the screen. The Spotlight  
icon appears in a small 2cm white menu bar but the rest of the menu  
bar isn't there. I did successfully boot into the login window by  
holding the shift key. If I choose his account I get the same  
problem, but if I choose one of the other two accounts they boot  
fine. Once booted into one of the other accounts I can then  
successfully switch to his account by using Fast User Switching. If  
we switch to his account this way everything seems to work fine. Any  
ideas what might be causing this or what I can try?
