Copy the attached gnome-debug.desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions/ and the attached gnome-session-debug script to /usr/bin and make it executable via chmod +x.

Feel free to attach the log file so we can have a look. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
