I found that I hadn't set the PATH variable correctly and had a
"gnome_execute_with_env_fds returned -1" in my ~/.xsession-errors. Check
there, if that message is being displayed it might be that the PATH is
not set up correctly.  I know also that before (like .18.3 I think)
there was something with the font cache regenerating itself every login.
I don't know why that was happening, but it might be another problem.

Hope this helps,
