We have the same problem!

No usefull output from tty1 and from logs.

We think the error can be in gnome-settings-daemon, because we can start 
gnome only by starting gnome-settings-daemon by hand and then starting 
gnome-session. It gives anyway the error

"There was an error starting the GNOME settings Daemon.
Some things, shuch as themes, sounds, or background settings may not 
work correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
GNOME will still try to restart the settings daemon next time you log in."


Then GNOME seems work ok.
