           Summary: Unable to start gnome except with failsafe session
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-session
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: samth at ccs.neu.edu
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


Having just copied over dot-files and dot-directories from an old system on to a
new (Breezy Colony 3) system, Gnome will now fail to start except with the
failsafe gnome session.  It hangs at the splash screen after the Metacity icon
has been displayed, but before anything else.  I can then kill X with C-A-Bksp,
and login with failsafe gnome.  Even after saving a session with
gnome-session-save from a successful Failsafe login, the behavior persists.
