Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

How to reproduce:
   sudo mkdir /etc/X11/Xsession.d/directory

Now any login attempt from gdm fails.

I discovered this problem because the 'fglrx' package (ATI proprietary
video driver), probably from an old version of Ubuntu,  created a
directory /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70fglrx_32bit_dri. The directory was still
there after the Lucid->Maverick upgrade.

I appears that this directory was not a problem in previous version of
xorg (such as Ubuntu Lucid), so this is a recent change in Xsession for
Maverick.
