I think I’ve already seen such a bug. It’s related to a desktop file
that contains an incorrect "Terminal=" entry. Please look for files
violating the spec in /etc/xdg/autostart and /usr/share/gnome/autostart.
Of course, gnome-session shouldn’t crash in that case, but that’s what
is triggering the bug.

Before working around it (by deleting the relevant file), I’d appreciate
if you could obtain a backtrace for that issue. To do that, rebuild
gnome-session with debugging symbols (see
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace), install libglib2.0-0-dbg,
then start a session that only consists of an xterm. In the terminal,
run "gdb /usr/bin/gnome-session" and debug it normally as explained in
the above wiki page.

Cheers,
