Yes, this is related. This is certainly caused by a buggy application
that is declared to the session manager but doesn’t register to it.
There is a 2 minutes timeout, until which gnome-session is waiting for
it to register.

You need to dig in the programs launched in .gnome2/session to find out
which one is buggy.
