So far the information is not sufficient to diagnose this further.

To get a verbose gnome-session log, please do the following steps
- copy the attached file "gnome-session-debug" to /usr/bin,
- chmod +x /usr/bin/gnome-session-debug
- copy gnome-debug.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions
- log out
- chose "GNOME Debug Session", if it doesn't show up reboot/restart your
system
- after the failed login attempt, switch to the console CTRL+ALT+F1 and
make a copy of ~/.xsession-errors

Please attach that file to the bug report.

Thanks,
Michael
