I'm using Karmic and after recent updates I'm getting the exact same thing, except longer error and I can't even get to the desktop - I login and within seconds I'm kicked out again back to login. When I login to terminal I get that message you're talking about.

Same behaviour here but no failure message in Terminal.
Can not login to desktop at all, only sometimes it stays for this failure pop-up message. After trying to click somewhere I'm kicked out again.

Thank you so much for this. Worked a treat!

Just for completeness, the fix seems to be to rename 'saved_state' in the .gconfd directory:

cd ~/.gconfd 
mv saved_state saved_state.old

Then you need to restart gnome (logout and log back in) for the change to take effect.
