When I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy two days ago, I had the same problem. Looking at .xsession-errors I found the following error:

1198440598.912730 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:107: remote desktop server died, restarting
1198440598.916107 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:107: remote desktop server died, restarting
1198440608.837906 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

This led me to think it was something related with remote desktop. So I fixed the problem by disabling it (the server name is "vino-server"). To do so, run from a terminal "vino-preferences" and disable remote desktop. Now reboot and it should work. This seems to fix bug #172444 too. I hope this helps.

P.S.: I think there might be a bug in vino or in the gnome-session package (since gsm-remote-desktop.c belongs to that package), so this is just a quick fix.
