Not sure if this will fix it or not, but my /home directories are not running
the default permissions of 755 for security reasons.  I run either 770 or 700.
 This causes problems with the new version of Gnome.  The following fixed some
problems for me, just give it a try.  First:

vi /etc/gdm/custom.conf

Then in the [security] section add the following line:

[security]
RelaxPermissions=1

Then reboot the server and try to log in with the problem users.  I have never
ran into this before, but it seems to be a security feature.  This just
relaxes Gnome so it isn't so worried about checking permissions to be sure
everyone is safe.

Good luck!
