I run Gnome on Sid and I face the exact problem. I don't recall when
it appeared but I have been experiencing this for at least a couple of
months now.
For me, gnome starts up normally. When I click on the application
menu, the menu starts flickering. Running top shows that the
gnome-panel is consuming almost all the CPU. Killing it (causing the
panel to restart) fixes the CPU consumption problem.
I have been updating anything that I can find related to gnome panel
but as I said earlier, the problem has persisted for a while. It
doesn't bother me too much as I have learned to use Alt-F2 to start my
applications.
I tried moving my .gnome* files out of the way as suggested in another
response, but the problem is still there.
