I found what was hanging it up. I had an application called Global Storage Architecture Login Gui that opens in the Notification Area of the panel. GSA is used at IBM. I thought I had removed it to see if that was causing a problem but the removal didn't complete due to a dpkg failure with the python-ropemacs package not installing correctly. To see if that was causing the problem, when gnome hung up I went to the console and looked for what was running. I saw it running and killed it. That unfroze gnome. I then looked in the bug reports for python-ropemacs to see how to fix that so that the GSA package would finishing uninstalling. Once I got rid of the GSA package, gnome didn't hang up on login. I don't know why all of the sudden it started hanging up gnome because I had been running it for probably over a year. Now to find out what is wrong with the GSA application.
