It seems it's an issue with X, not necessarily with your login manager.
- Check what X logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log - PLEASE dont paste the lot in
here blindly - errors / problems are usually clearly marked. Send those here
for help.
- Disable all login managers (gdm,etc), then start X by itself (startx) - it
may start gnome, or maybe twm. if it doesn't, it would most definitely point to
- did you upgrade to Xorg 7.2 recently? did you follow the upgrade process to a
successful completion?
