(Retitled to something a little less generic.)

Please try editing /usr/bin/gnome-session (it's a shell script) and
making it log what it's doing:

#!/bin/sh

echo "SHELL: $SHELL" >&2
echo "XDG_SESSION_CLASS: $XDG_SESSION_CLASS" >&2
echo "XDG_SESSION_TYPE: $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" >&2
echo "\$0: $0" >&2
echo "bash: $(command -v bash)" >&2
echo "BASH_VERSION: $(bash -c 'echo $BASH_VERSION')" >&2

for arg in "$@"; do
    echo "\$@: $arg" >&2
done

echo "end of \$@"

... continue with what the script does now ...

Then try logging in again, in the same way. You should get more information
logged.

Thanks,
