tried it now with the unmodified latest rawhide i686 kernel and nv
graphics driver -> same problem.

in /etc/xses-* it reads:

---snip---
(nautilus:2228): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS
connection: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man
dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)
...
2228: arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were
incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file
dbus-connection.c line 2778.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-BUS library
...
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/vfs.py:4:
DeprecationWarning: Module gnome.vfs is deprecated; please import
gnomevfs instead
  DeprecationWarning)
---snip---

also gdm still wants the user to choose the default session on each
login.
