Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
the summary says it all.
my .profile file looks like this:
--
#alias ls="ls --color"
alias r="ssh -X 10.0.0.32";
alias rr="ssh -X 10.0.0.32 sudo";
export PATH=.:/home/spliffy/bin:/home/spliffy/bin/bpmdj-2.9:$PATH

my default shell is bash. when i uncomment the first line in my .profile
file then after entering user/pw in gdm, launching the gnome-session
will fail with no meaningfull error message.
the .xsession-errors looks like this
