I don't know what upstart is exactly, but I don't believe it's the
problem here.

You might look in /var/log/auth.log for other clues.

One kubuntu guy with a similar symptomatology removed (for safety's sake
you can just move the files out of the way by renaming them)

 .Xauthority .ICEauthority .cache

then 

 dpkg-reconfigured lightdm
                   xfce4 (actually, in his case, kubuntu)

and rebooted.

Probably couldn't hurt. But might not help.

You could try another display manager if all else fails, or, as I see
suggested elsewhere (the ineluctable "just use Mutt" reflex) startx.

I get this spam, too, but it's nothing but that.
