I'm running the new Hoary (but I've had this problem even in Gutsy.) Every time I bootup my computer and login via GDM, I choose to have XFCE as my default desktop. I enter my username and password, and XFCE begins loading. After a few seconds, it stops reading files from the hard drive and stops loading alltogether. I have to use CTRL+ALT+Backspace to restart X and re-login to XFCE, where it loads up the XFCE desktop normally. Everything will work fine until I reboot and relogin to XFCE, in which I will have to do the CTRL+ALT+Backspace thing again and re-login.
Here is the error reported in ~/.xsession-errors
