I've seen that before - Is your disk full?  It seems to be caused by
gnome or something in the login process trying to write to disk and
failing.  As a user it can be caused by your home directory/certain
files being owned by someone else, e.g. root, but as root I've only seen
it caused by the root disk being full.

(Do a df -k and see what is at 100%)

Hope this helps.
