Finder Relaunches Constantly ... Can't Check Crash Logs

Question

I know, I know....
The primary user on this eMac is having serious troubles because Finder relaunches immediately after login then continues to do so, so fast that we can't even start the console to check the logs ... not that this would help anyway because I think one of the problems is that I just used Onyx to clean and delete a bunch of things that I didn't know what were, including logs I think.... I know, I know....
Anyway it's just this one user and we could delete it and start fresh but for reasons I won't go into we'd still be implementing damage control two months from now. What we did is commonly referred to as "Putting all your eggs in one basket."
I just reset PRAM and removed all apps from the login thing. Repaired permissions, etc. I'm still reading threads here about this but the usual thing seems to be checking crash logs and like I said I think that's moot now.

Answer 1

I'm still trying to figure out some other stuff as far as logs but if this helps here are system log entries from the last crashes:
