Enable gnome-session debugging
The recommended first step for trying to debug issues in GNOME related to various GNOME components is to enable the debug flag in /usr/bin/gnome-session. To do this, edit /usr/bin/gnome-session as root and add the the following option to the end of the last line: --debug:
/usr/bin/gnome-session exec /usr/libexec/gnome-session-binary "$@" --debug
Then, logging into GNOME will result to debug log messages sent to /var/log.
