Not entirely sure if this'll fix it. But:
o exit your X session
o Login at console
o `cd ~/.gnome`
o `cp session session.bak`
o `vim session`
o `:%s#^\(\d\{1,\},CurrentDirectory=\)\(/root\)$#\1/home/<username>#g`
o `:wq`
o Login to X and see if it worked.
Bullet items in backquotes '`' are to be executed explicitly sans
backquotes. Substitute your username for <username>. If it doesn't
work, you can restore session.bak (I tested, and it seems to do it).
Note: the %s command may not work the same in all vi clones, though it
works in vim for sure.
