I had the same problem for moths, until I made sure that I had
metacity for wm working with gnome, and not any other. Part of the
problem is that in desktop preferences there is an entry for metacity
setup, by default, not to a wm in general.
Next thing you want to do is to delete old configuration files in your
home directory, refering to gnome. You may even want to erase whole
directories that have old configuration files.

Try first .gnome2 alone, it mnay fix the problem.
Good luck.
