Same issue for me with 2.6.32-17 kernel on a 64 bit machine with little differences: I haven't experienced any "login loop", bu t the problem seems the same. After an update I rebooted and now this is my situation: I get to login screen quite normally (I get some warning while booting but this was happening also before this problem showed up). In the login window I notice the option "session" is missing, then after login I am in failsafe mode (but I did not boot in failsafe mode) having only xterm. X is working, i.e. I can launch programs normally (I even watched a video using vlc, to say... but no sound) but the windows do not have the title bar, and I can't move/resize,minimize them. If I launch a program a window just appears in some spot where it is doomed to stay with a definite size (this differs between different programs, I think this depends on some predefined configuration of said programs). I can provide any information you want (I can connect to the internet from terminal and use firefox) if you can guide me I will be happy to help. This problem seems not to be kernel-related since I tried booting another kernel (2.6.31-14) and got the same behavior. Tried to reinstall gdm (using aptitude) but nothing changed, please note that my system is fully updated.
