Inspired by kaptengu and Yerakon's comments, I started with a clean /etc/hosts file (as there was an error message that the local host could not be resolved). I also made sure that the loopback network interface is loaded, as it was omitted in /etc/networking/interfaces. That did the trick for me;

Maybe I should add that my AP:s SSID is something else. I correct the SSID after starting gnome. This makes the startup-time faster for me. Maybe I should just change to WEP. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lis

I found out it has something to do with wpa_supplicant. When I am outside my home WiFi-network, Gnome starts normally. I tried to change my SSID in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to "blablabla", and then it also worked fine. -- gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login https://launchpad.net/bugs/61381 --
