This happens to me often:

If I use ps at point 3, I see a number of processes left over from my previous session:
- bonobo- activation- server data-server
- gconfd
- evolution-
- several applets (netspeed, battstat, gweather, mixer, multiload, cpufreq)
- esd
I can only log into gdm after logging into a text console and killing these processes manually.
