GNOME or KDE? Sounds like your logout isn't quite doing what it should. Try logging in, then out, then in to a failsafe terminal from which you can start your window manager, etc. and see all error messages. You can probably use the switchdesk command, or start each component individually until you hit an error. At the worst, you might have to delete ~/.gnome or whatever.
