Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Hello, I'm testing out Hardy Heron. The live cd works fine, but once
installed, I'm unable to log in with gnome.

After I type my username and password and press enter, I hear some disk
activity, but then the system stops completely. However, there is an
error message in .xsession-errors: (I think this is the most releveant
part, complete file attached)

(process:20800): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or 
setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead.

By echo'ing messages in the startup files, I've found out that when
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common-start tries to execute /usr/bin/gnome-
session, it hangs. This suggests something is wrong with with /usr/bin
/gnome-session.

This is on a fresh install from alpha2, only with upgrades applied. I
tried installing KDE, and logging in there works fine. Please tell me
how I should debug this further, I 'm happy for any suggestions.

The computer is a Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz, asus P4C800 motherboard with Intel 875 
chipset, 1 Gb ram, wired net connection. I suppose more detailed hw info is not 
required here, but please tell me if I should provide that.
Regards
Pär
