After some experiments it turned out that something stopped
accepting my existing ~/.gconf directories.  Even after
'gconftool-2 --dump >saved; rm -rf ~/.gconf; gconftool-2 --load saved',
which swelled a .gconf directory from 384K to 9.4M, that something
still does not like results and hangs starting sesssion.

If I will just 'rm -rf ~/.gconf' but this, of course, is loosing
all customizations.  It is a lot of work to restore some sanity
here and many of those keys are not even releated to a desktop.
