Slow booting / stuck before loading desktop

Hey,

I recently installed opensuse 13.1 to my old netbook (ASUS 1005HA) and in the first time booting was rapid and smooth.

However, lately I have to wait about a minute or so after leaving GRUB2 until my XFCE desktop ist loaded (i.e. the XFCE splashscreen appears). During this time, I only see the default-chameleon-wallpaper slowly getting brighter...

Might be unrelated, but it seemed like this behaviour started after I temporarily deinstalled gstreamer and all related packages (which were a lot more than I expected, including for instance the XFCE sound mixer) to solve a codec problem.

Since I have seen people working with systemd-analyze to tweak their booting, I have done the same and these are the results:

Code:

systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 8.633s (kernel) + 3min 3.004s (userspace) = 3min 11.638s

systemd-analyze blame
          2.312s postfix.service
          2.093s cycle.service
          2.088s systemd-udev-root-symlink.service
          1.834s SuSEfirewall2.service
          1.639s kmod-static-nodes.service
          1.156s plymouth-start.service
          1.148s systemd-readahead-replay.service
          1.144s systemd-readahead-collect.service
          1.142s dev-mqueue.mount
          1.133s sys-kernel-debug.mount
          1.133s dev-hugepages.mount
          968ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service
          ...

From what I understand, the booting time is exorbitant (even though these 3 min seem to include lots of stuff happening after the desktop is already loaded and usable, so it seems not that long to me), but there are no processes which consume a significant amount of time. Since this didn't really help me, I also plotted my bootchart: (be warned, large picture!)

So am I reading this wrong, or are there just large amounts of time where..... well, nothing happens? And does it seem like it's related to systemd itself?

Can someone make something out of this?
