Bug#531388: After upgrade gnome-session fails to start a valid session

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.26.1-7
Severity: normal

Hello, since gnome-session 2.26.1-5 I always get an error as soon as I
login with gdm.

I get a message that says something like "your session only lasts 10
seconds... ecc", if I press ok the session will be closed and I go
back to the gdm prompt.

If I try a failsafe gnome-session it works without any problem.

I even try to delete all the gnome related configuration files to get
a brand new gnome-session... it works (but I can't have the
reboot/shutdown button) the first time but after the
logout the next login fails with the same error.

In attach my last .xsession-errors and the output of 'ps ax'.

If I downgrade both gnome-session and gnome-setting-daemon to an old
version (I found them in testing) all works as usual.

Regards.

Giovanni
