Or I had this happen recently when I updated helix-gnome and something got
screwed up.... Anyway, you could try something like the following:

  1. alt-ctl-F1, to switch to a text console.
  2. log in as one of the users you tried logging on as under gdm.
  3. more .gnome-errors

Perhaps that will give you some idea what's going on.---b.
