Udev/HAL problems, most likely.  X now wants them for input devices.

Yes, we fixed the über-stupid, insanely callous behaviour of doing more
damage to filesystems just because the user was booting on battery (skipping
a filesystem check on ext2/3/4 after a crash can be deadly to your data).
This is not a theory, we got reports of dataloss.

If you don't want stray fsck's, configure the filesystem to not request them
in the first place, and it will fsck only after an unclean shutdown.
tune2fs can change/disable the fsck-after-n-mounts for you on ext2/3/4.

Userspace problem, I don't know where.

That's bad, and we'd need far more precise reports about what broke...
