sigsegv caught with latest Debian packages

[Brian Jepson <bjepson ids net>]

I installed the basic GNOME packages from ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/debian,
and I modified my .xinitrc based on what I saw in the installation
instructions.  However, when I start X, gnome-session outputs the
following:

  Gdk-Message: 
  ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
  Message: Initializing CORBA for panel

  Gdk-Message: 
  ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
  connected to session manager
  Gdk-Message: 
  ** ERROR **: sighup caught
  Gdk-Message:

  Gdk-Message:

  Gdk-Message:

  Message: Initializing CORBA for panel

  Gdk-Message: 
  ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
  Gdk-Message: 
  ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
  connected to session manager

Here is how I am starting gnome-session:

  /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker &
  exec gnome-session >> gnome.log

gnome-session is running after I start X:

  $ ps auwx | grep gnome
  bjepson    140  0.8  3.3  4352  2120   1 S    15:09   0:01 gnome-session 
  bjepson    163  0.3  2.6  4556  1672   1 S    15:09   0:00 gnome-smproxy 
  bjepson    171  0.0  0.5   852   352  p2 S    15:12   0:00 grep gnome 
  $ 

I installed GNOME this morning on a fresh install of Debian 2.0.  Here is
some semi-randomly selected package information:

  gdk-imlib1      1.8.1-0.1
  gnome-core      0.30-1
  gnome-desktop   0.28.1-1
  gnome-panel     0.30-1
  gnome-session   0.30-1
  imlib-base      1.8.1-0.1
  imlib1          1.8.1-0.1
  libgnome0       0.30-1
  libgtk1.1       1.1.2-1
  orbit           0.3.0-1
  liborbit0       0.3.0-1
  libc6           2.0.7t-1

Also:

  $ uname -a
  Linux oscorb 2.0.36 #2 Tue Nov 24 20:39:57 EST 1998 i586 unknown

I'm running Linux kernel 2.0.36 with SMP enabled, but GNOME exhibits the
same behavior with a non-SMP (2.0.33) kernel. 

Please let me know if you need any further information.
