Are you sharing the home directories via NFS?  The gconfd {registry} 
exists in the users homedirectory and you may be experiencing a file 
locking problem.  Of course this is only for gnome,  I don't know about 
KDE.  I'd poke about about on the second machine while the 
hanging-blue-screen is there with fuser in the user's homedir and see if 
you find anything suspicious.

1. GNOME 2.GNOME doesn't work?
1. KDE 2. GNOME doesn't work?
1. KDE 2. KDE doesn't work?

Check .xsession-errors as well.
