Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
About 90% of the time when logging in from GDM, gnome-session hangs.
I don't get any GNOME programs running, just a cursor and a blank, light brown background.
If I choose "Failsafe GNOME", the same happens, though for a few days this seemed to work.
I have cleaned my session, and I have even tried this with newly created users, and the same thing happens.
The only way I can get it to work is by using a "Failsafe Terminal" session and launching gnome-session from that.
Most of the time, this method works, but on rare occasions this method hangs in the same way, too. I can simply just kill it and try again in the same terminal and it will work.
I have a stack trace from what happens when it hangs:

I get the same issue. Have you desktop effects enabled ?
With autologin enabled in Gdm Gnome session loads fine.
