[...] I had this problem pretty persistently for a long time. I believe what finally fixed it was killing all gnome-session processes, with no X at all running, and then delete all gnome-related files and directories in $HOME - .gtk* .gnome* .metacity* .nautilus* Desktop* .gconf* etc - and then restart X by your usual means, and try logging in to gnome from there.
