If the desktop is hanging after authentication, then this is probably
not a GDM issue, but a problem with gnome-session, or a program started
by gnome-session.
I would recommend the following:
1) Check the $HOME/.xsession-errors file and see if there are any useful
error messages there which might indicate the failure. Also,
checking the Xorg logs in /var/log and /var/log/gdm may also
highlight something useful.
2) Try starting a failsafe terminal from the GDM login screen and run
"dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --debug". This
will cause gnome-session to run with extra debug output and may
also display other useful error messages that might not otherwise
be shown in the $HOME/.xsession-errors file.
Does this point you towards anything useful that highlights what the
problem may be?
