That should do it? Maybe you don't have enough memory installed for
Gnome to render your menus correctly or something somewhere else is
broken?
Try backing up your $HOME and using a completely empty $HOME directory
when logging on to Gnome again... etc...
If you read the archives of this list you might find a lot of ways of
troubleshooting Gnome "the debian way".
