Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
1. I also tried kde and I get the same error. "I was unable to start
your session and I will start failsafe xterm"
2. From the failsafe xterm I type gnome-session and it starts up just
fine.
3. I created a new user and I am able to login into gnome-session just
fine.
.xsession-errors pasted below
