OK, perhaps I should explain a bit of background now. I am using
garnome-0.27.1. Consequently, it has installed gnome-2.4.0 into my
~/garnome directory without breaking my gnome-2.2.0 setup. I have filled
out my ~/.xsession file exactly as the documentation specifies. Yet for
some reason gnome-2.4.0 will not start up in runlevel 6, only 2.2.0. To
get 2.4.0, I have to run startx from runlevel 3. When GNOME hung, I used
ctrl+alt+F2 and logged in again to return to the command prompt. Then I
ran ps ax for the pid for the instance of gnome-session still running.

I've done this too, and received the following output:

I really appreciate this, Michael. I've spent weeks looking at different
debug outputs for gnome-session, EsounD and bonobo-activation-server.
It's taught me a lot about troubleshooting. But I finally decided I need
some kind of help!

Thanks a million,
