*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48876 ***
The issue has been tracked to gdm and is a parsing issue of a ls command
due to the alias usage, that's bug #48876. I'll fix it for dapper-
updates and edgy next week
** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: gnome-session = gdm
Ok, I cracked it. I was getting nowhere and so I decided to reinstall
and then iteratively check if and where it would break. It turns out too
innocent looking lines in /etc/profile are what made gnome-session run
for the hills. I run gentoo on my laptop, I copied that file right over
and it broke
my default /etc/profile has nothing like that in it. if this is
something you added to profile it isnt concidered a bug.

I'd love to, but I don't know how. As far as I can tell, gnome-session is
started in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc
which looks like this:
# If we are running the GNOME session, source ~/.gnomerc
BASESTARTUP=`basename $STARTUP | cut -d\ -f1`
if [ $BASESTARTUP = gnome-session -o \
Can you try sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-session. than sudo apt-get
install gnome-session. Also try this with gdm.

That seems to have had no effect at all.
