This also happens to me, since the last set of automatic updates (some of which I believe were gnome-related). I've attached my .xsession- errors, which includes the following error:
Starting gtk-window-decorator I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/matt/.compiz/session/10de87f9c1a829013c129690152332863400000018210029" /usr/bin/compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu.png ** (nm-applet:1895): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 1228 error_code 8 request_code 3 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
