No big deal....
If you can get in as root, do this
# cd /home/(yourusername)
# rm -R -f /home/(Yourusername)/.gnome
Any of several files there could be blocking you--this will clear
it and also any customized settings which you can spend an
amusing time restoring. PROBABLY some JBuild linkage will be
wiped and you will have to bridge it manually, like starting from
command line in xterm instead of off the menu.
After that, go back to the login screen and login as user--and
wait a bit while it rebuilds as if you were starting gnome for
the first time
