There can be two reasons for this kind of issues:
     1. There is something misconfigured in the network settings (e.g.
        the loopback interface or the DNS server), which is causing
        timeouts.
     2. A faulty application is started but doesn't register correctly
        to the session manager - or it fails to start.

Can you please attach your ~/.gnome2/session file, and list
the /usr/share/gnome/autostart, /usr/share/autostart and
~/.local/autostart directories?

Thanks,
