Had same problem here on Ubuntu 10.04. Don't know what caused the problem.

FIX: Doing a "ls -la" in my home folder, I noticed that the hidden config file ".gconf" was not owned by me, but by "488". Changing the owner of this file back to normal (to me) solved the issue. I did a:

chown -R $USER $HOME/.gconf

and could happily log back in my session.
