In my case the error was down to disk corruption of the package. You can check the gnome-session package by running rpm -vV gnome-session you may get some epoch warnings about gdm which you can ignore, but any other lines probably mean the package is corrupt. If this is the problem, try up2date gnome-session which might fix the problem if the problem occured when that package was being updated, otherwise download the package by hand an run rpm -Uvh gnome-session*rpm --replacepkgs --replacefiles which should restore a clean copy.
