Comment 63 for bug 136529

Oddly enough I was getting this error all morning.
Digging deeply into the problem gnome-session was bailing each time.

gnome-session would work when I log in initially after reboot, but any subsequent logins with my user did not work (the same freeze we're seeing above.)

Good news is now it works, I only did two things:

1. I change the keyboard layout (I was getting tired of the message about X and Gnome keyboards being different and having to choose one)

2. I killed bonobo manually once after loging in.

After some digging I don't see how "2" would have done it, since I've not rebooted and I can still login as many times as I want, without doing any manual kills.

So for all those still having this trouble try changing your keyboard settings.

I'm using "nv" with an nvidia card, no compiz, no xgl. Looks like my login problem was not related to the gnome-keyring bug.

good luck all.
