I believe this is being caused by ESD. I was experiencing the same behavior on
login (background appears, nothing else happens), and by starting using the
failsafe xterm session and then manually starting x-session-manager and then
stracing gnome-panel, i found it was waiting on an ESD socket. Once I killed
the running ESD (and then disabled it under Gnome), everything's working
beautifully.

Moral of this story: there's a reason people have been talking about replacing
ESD for sixty billion years.
