I am running the latest version of Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS AMD64 on a VMware workstation 7.1 in Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. I have a 2.6.32-23-generic kernel. I have all updates available in the lucid and lucid-updates US repositories. I only have the lucid and lucid-updates US main restricted multiverse universe repositories in my sources.list (no lucid-proposed or lucid-backports). So there is no beta packages installed.
Basically, I installed a bunch of applications (almost the same list as I use on 3 other non-virtual Ubuntu 10.04 machines) and they all work fine. I just can't determine what application or setting has caused the GNOME desktop to fail to start. Kubuntu (KDE) desktop works just fine (I can even use a composition engine unlike Ubuntu in which Visual Effects do not work in VMware 7.1). Basically, GNOME hangs at the login background screen and does nothing. It is similar to this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1502665.html. Although no-one solved that problem.
I have the latest VMware tools installed and I have the lastest release of VMware workstation 7.1.
Here is a gnome-session --debug log. Let me know if I should supply any other logs.
