With the new kernel image, the system now fails to login.  When I get the
password prompt, I enter it, the screen displays random colors for a brief
moment, then I get the login again.  The system will not proceed to my
desktop.  Syslog reports only the following:

gnome-session [2087] :  CRITICAL : We failed, but the fail whale is dead.
Sorry....

Xorg logs contain no useful information.


I find it amusing that even the gnome error messages are dumbed down to the
point of being useless.
