Michael,
This is great! You cross referenced to
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=69701

which cannot be accessed. What good is that :(

Apologies - I fixed that now; I wondered where this bug had gone, I couldn't see
it before.

Last comment from the ximian bug:
==================
So - when I looked at this again in more detail, it seemed that it
really was the esd forking that was screwing things up & dying when it
caught a signal - that in turn blocking the gnome-settings-daemon
startup, that in turn breaking the syncrhonous gnome-session
activation of that - thus locking everything up.

The esound daemon forking code is unbelievably broken - reading it,
there are so many obvious bugs - it's unclear which one might be the
problem ;-( We should really cut/paste a cut-down gspawn.c in there I
think; or some known-good fork code I guess.
==================
(I guess this was about gsm-sound.c?)

I don't see this happening (no report) and this is more a problem in esd than in gnome-session, so closing this bug.
