I cannot help you if this is a gnome-specific problem, but I think that
it might rather be related to your X setup and the driver for your
graphics card. More information is needed to know what is going on;
please post the output of the following commands:

lspci | egrep -i 'video|vga|display'

awk '/Section "(Module|Device|DRI|Extensions)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf

egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
