In this case, the session was stuck trying to activate
gnome-settings-daemon, but since that's also a gconf client I assume
it's the same problem, and gconfd is to blame.

The other two are stale. That's a bug (one I thought I had fixed, but
evidently there's more to it); they're probably not relevant.

Can you try attaching to it with gdb next time (or this time, if it's
still tihs time) and getting a backtrace?
I suspect it's just inside its event loop, which isn't very informative,
but maybe not.
