Hello, I used to have this problem as well but I have recently 'fixed' it. I got so fed up of long load times I actually used fvwm-crystal instead of gnome for a while.
Anyways to fix it I disabled many start up services that start along gnome. To do this go to System->Preferences->Sessions from the top panel in gnome. This allows you to decide which service starts up. I deleted the standard ones so I do not know which ones I disabled but I remember disabling the bluetooth and I believe that it is the bluetooth that is causing the problem since everyone complaining from this seems to be a laptop user. Anyways services which I kept are attached as a screenshot. Let me know if this helps.
