GNOME Session Manager Preventing Login


I’m having quite an annoying problem which I hope someone can help me with, it really hope I don’t have to reinstall! I’m Running Fedora core 3 and after rebooting I tried to login and I’m presented with this message:

“The GNOME Session Manager (process 4850) has crashed due to a fatal error (segmentation fault).
When you close this dialogue all applications will close and your session will exit.
Please save all files before closing this dialogue.”

If I choose either close or restart application they both take me back to the login screen. I can login in to the fail safe terminal but I have no idea how to fix this, can you wipe the last session or something like that.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Duncan
