Hi there, I think the problem is caused by conflicting configuration of PAM and Unix Consolekit along with faulty setting of ~/.dmrc and ~/.dbus.
This causes crashes due to permission errors in /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket and crashes a variety of applications including (not exhaustive): hald-volume-manager canberra-play-gtk jockey-gtk console-kit-daemon pulseaudio compiz compiz.real x-session-manager ... I will document this further shortly.

Someone reports a crash in Metacity. Someone else says he doesn't use Metacity (so what?). And now you point to a crash in consolekit. I can only see the relevance of the first one.
