Not sure if this will be any help, but I saw something similar to this
too (but starting session manager from an ~/.xsession and with fvwm2)
Gnome would take a *long* time to start fully, and after 2-4 startups
no more wm.
In the end the fix here was to make sure *NO* other xclients get started
before the session manager did (I had an xterm being opened still in
.xsession). It still took a couple of restarts before it settled down
to behaving consistantly, but now it starts quickly and I haven't had
any problems since..
dunno if this helps you any though :-/
