I dunno, you might check your logs, but it is highly likely to be some
file in the /home/offendinguser/.gnome directory.

So IMHO, the easiest way to solve this problem is to delete the users
.gnome sub directory in his homedir and then startx should work fine and
when gnome is run for the first time after that it will recreate the
directory structure.
