I had a similar problem long ago, so I don't remember the fix exactly,
but it had to do with my gnome user accidentally losing some of the
groups. So when logged in "behind the scenes" as root I recreated my
user in comand line and it fixed the login problem.
So maybe this would help.
Good luck and merry holiday!

Hi folks. I'm running Gnome 3.6 usually, and for some reason instead of
logging in automatically, I get the login prompt, and it's not accepting my
password, so I can only login as guest. What I don't understand, and it's
driving me crazy, is that if I go CTRL ALT F2, I can login with no problem
at all, so I've not changed my password or anything. Any help appreciated;
thanking you in advance.
Its likely just seeming like you are not able to login. Its probably
something in your ~/.config configuration causing x to crash or not load
and dump you back out at the login. You can try removing or renaming things
randomly til you find it.. I would rename the gnome specific configs or
just move them out of your /home directory temporarily to test... cheers!
