In my experience, GNOME has had this problem since version 1.0; almost
every time I've upgraded, something has broken.  Most of the time I've
just given up and nuked ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome-private, and then
recreated my desktop configuration.

It doesn't seem very reasonable to expect the Debian packagers to try
to fix upstream bugs like this.
