I upgraded gnome-session to 2.10.0-5 last night on my Sarge, 2.6.11, on a PIV. After that, I logged out of Gnome and couldn't login back. The login process 'hanged' on the gray screen that comes just, before the splash screen appears.
I then deleted everything that belonged to me in /tmp (gconfd* alsa* .esd* orbit-* etc.) and relogged and was successful. But now sounds do not work. In my .xsession-erros, I get these messages: /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "red" /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

What do I need to do to correct this? I tried deleting /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and restarting alsa. No luck. Btw, when I login to a KDE session, sound works okay.
