A friend working towards a LARGE desktop rollout here in the UK 
mentioned this exact problem.  There are hardcode strings in Gnome that 
have been stored in your config files.  "mkdir ~/.old_gnome;mv ~/.gnome* 
~/.old_gnome " while logged in via ssh.  You'll lose your settings, but 
be able to get in.

He also said that Evolution has been similarly misdesigned, but the 
strings are stored in hexidecinal encoded format. 8-(
