GNOME crashes odly

Recently, I had problems with GNOME.

The loading hanged up before finishing and I couldn't do anything and restarting gave the same effect.

I finally managed to make it work (I don't know how) after a long discussion on IRC.

But this time, a friend of mine has the same problem and I'm unable to make it work. Removing configuration files solves the problem for a couple of times and it freeze again.

It doesn't freeze at startup, but whenever an application is launched.

I managed to log a session here : http://pastebin.archlinux.org/2341

I've highlighted some lines :

244) The end of the GNOME startup. All seems functionnal
246) The session is launched from console in an empty X session, so this is normal.
247) We call the gconf-editor from the gnome-panel. All control is lost. Nothing is responding in the X session
278) The log hangs here a very long time
279) There is a TIMEOUT and all controls are given back. The gconf-editor is still an empty window but is killable.
296) We start another application (gnome-system-log) and again we loose control.
328) Control is given back but the gonme-system-log window is still empty and nothing can be done inside.

I have only enable GSM_VERBOSE_DEBUG.

Any help would be really appreciated.

thanks,

Cilyan
