This is the same problem that marcin and I have seen. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-linaro-omap/+bug/785739 the desktop starts fine for Marcin but I have seen it not start the desktop at all sometimes, it is erratic.
If I remove /lib/modules/2.6.38-1003-linaro-omap/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl12* everything else works.

Thanks to the heroic efforts of rsalveti the packaged linux-linaro-omap kernel now greatly improved omap4 display functionality. There is a .deb in the linaro-maintainers kernel ppa. If you have a panda board and have time to try it out your feedback would be much appreciated:

Seems I am overlooking something, when others have reported success.
I am facing problems using it. To be sure I also checked with today's snapshots linaro-n-ubuntu-desktop-tar-20110521-0.tar.gz + hwpack_linaro-panda_20110521-0_armel_supported.tar.gz
Installed 1003 release with
a) root@linaro:~# dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.38-1003-linaro-omap_2.6.38-1003.4~ppa2_armel.deb b) Created uImage and uInitrd in boot partition using mkimage
I could see Unity frozen over DVI port, though with resolution finer than before. Nothing when booted HDMI connected. Mine is 1920x1080 ASUS laptop.
FWIW, Ubuntu-11.04 natty armel release works fine at 1080.
Thanks, -Jassi
