I've had this issue as well for a while. I've been overriding gnome-control-center with 'xset m default'.
Mouse speed is normal at gdm. When I log in, it immediately goes to a crawl. 'xset q | grep accel' reports acceleration: 3/10 threshold: 0.
If I remove .gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/%gconf.xml and log out, the problem does not re-occur on next log in until I open the mouse applet again. When I first open the mouse applet the slider is in the middle. If I move it, it goes to the left and my mouse speed is back to 3/10. When running gnome-control-panel in the foreground of a shell, the mouse applet reports:
(gnome-mouse-properties:8550): capplet-common-WARNING **: Unable to find a default value for key for /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/motion_acceleration.
I'll assume it is an integer, but that may break things.
Please be sure that the associated schema is installed

After modification of the acceleration slider, .gconf/ desktop/ gnome/periphera ls/mouse/ %gconf. xml contains the following line (among others):
<entry name="motion_ acceleration" mtime="1181840944" type="float" value=" 0.2000000029802 3224">
Note that 'xset q | grep accel' returns acceleration: 2/1 and threshold: 4 after 'xset m default'
It may be worth noting that I have a similar problem with keyboard autorepeat.
