The thing GNOME runs on startup is "gnome-session". Try running that
from a terminal window (just run one terminal, no windowmanager) and see
if it prints any error messages? That might give some trace, as might
/var/log/gdm/\:0.log - but I think that logfile thing was mentioned
already?
If gnome-session just hangs you can always try stracing it (prints a LOT
of info about what it is doing but should show at least the point where
it stops.. -run "strace gnome-session" from the terminal)
Anyway, I hope you find some info on what is failing.
