[Bug 45951] Re: gnome-session failed

[Spliffster]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48876 ***

if your login shell is bash, check if you have a .bashrc file (just in
case you are new to gnome, nautilus hides files starting with a dot, use
CTRL+H to sho them).

altough i haven't checked, the same alias command in a .bashrc file
would most probably cause the sameproblem, i guess the gnome-session
command (or any associated script) is using ls instead of /bin/ls which
causes this to happen.

also, if you are using another shell than bash/sh, you might want to
look into the man page to see what startup files you shell uses (most
probably not .profile).

Cheers,
-S
