 * I have set up a menu for the Editor role that includes only the menu for a **
   custom post type** and the **user profile**.
 * However, when the user logs in, it always displays the dashboard with the massive
   icons for Account, Help, and Reports.
 * **By selecting the Reports item, the user has complete write access to other 
   things such as pages, posts, comments, etc.**
 * When the “Dashboard” menu item is removed, the dashboard should NOT appear on
   login – the FIRST item in the menu should appear.
 * Of course, editing the “Display” tab so that Reports are not available works,
   but if you shut off everything, it’s an empty dashboard.

 * Unfortunately, there is no support for what you’re asking at this time. There
   is absolutely plans for this plugin that will enable you to do more of what you’re
   asking.
 * It is possible to use a plugin that modifies user role permissions to remove 
   the editor’s ability to edit posts other than your custom post type.
 * Sorry for any inconvenience.
