Michael, have you tried loading recovery mode and then loading GNOME from the console (using the "gdm" command)? I used to be able to bypass the problem that way.
As a follow up, I've simply installed Xubuntu 10.04 and everything had been working perfectly until I had i problems this morning. I can't exactly recall what happened, but I'd left my computer on overnight (it was upgrading as I went to sleep) and when I woke up I rebooted (I think) and had one of the keys stick at the login screen. This has been an isolated occurrence so far and it's not much help because I can't remember all the details, but if it happens again, I'll document it better.
