Heh, I thought I was the only one.  Or rather, my parents.  Their
machine sporadically fails on the first login.  I even had it happen to
me on their machine for the first time just an hour ago.  IIRC it never
shows the splash screen, it just goes black and flashes back to GDM. 
It's very inconsistent though.  The best debugging data I can get is
some anonymous program failing to connect to :0.0 as reported by
.xsession-errors, nothing more.

Their machine is a stock RedHat 7.2 with latest&greatest Ximian (freshly
updated as of an hour ago).  All my other machines with the exact same
packages do *not* do this.

It's their only gripe about the machine atm, afaik, so I'd love to know
if someone has a clue as to why it's happening, so I can fix it.
