Ubuntu | gnome-session

           Summary: does not start.
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-session
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: rrm3 at rrm3.org

I am running completely updated 5.04.  When I log in to anything except failsafe
terminal, the background gets set to the default color (not the background
image) and the computer just sits there indefinitely and does not lock up or
timeout or show an error message or anything.  This is from a clean install. 
Previous installs have worked fine, so I am a bit miffed.  I am thinking it must
be the last Xorg updates, but I am not savvy enough to know the commands to
update my system to before those X updates.  The only customizations I have done
on this system are changing the DefaultDepth to 16 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fix
the fonts display on my laptop (ThinkPad 600 45-U), and built newer madwifi
drivers to get my wireless working, and disabled acpi to get my sound working (I
also had to add cs4232 to the list of modules that gets probed).  I have no idea
how any of this stuff might be related.  I haven't used linux in years, sorry
for being so helpless.  I used to use an LFS based distribution, but I just
don't have the computing power for that anymore.  Please help.  Thanks.
