Interesting. A brand new user account gets a working session.

I created a new user, and tried logging in to the default GNOME session.
This gave me the default desktop, panels and menus. At this point, I can
see that even a "successful" login produces a fair number of error
messages in the .xsession_errors file. In particular, the message that
had seemed suspicious to me initially about an assertion failure in
gnome-settings-daemon is still there.

However, later messages in the failed session such as "Connection reset
by peer" and "Resource temporarily unavailable" referring to the X
server do not appear in the successful session.

I would like to figure out what significant difference there is between
the old and new accounts that causes the session to fail, both so I can
repair my original account, and so that whatever bug caused the settings
to be broken in the update can be repaired.
