"I bet you do have

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are
that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for
information.

in your ~/.xsession-errors.

The cause is that since 2.24, gconf uses dbus to locate the gconfd server. On
the remote end, no dbus session bus is running and/or the dbus session bus
address env var isn't set.
"

do you also have those errors?
