I had this problem. I moved all .gnome*, .gconf*, and .nautilus
directories and files I could find out of the way which seems to have
solved it.  So far it is still good after restarts and reboots.  I did
it logged out of X and gnome from a console. Making sure all the gnome
processes had also been killed. 

Have fun,
