Not being a user of Gnome, I don't know the correct answer, but what I'd try is logging out of Gnome, renaming all your Gnome-related directories in your home directory, and then logging back in. If that solves the problem, you're a step closer to knowing which files are the problem. If that does not solve the problem, you can be fairly confident it's system-wide rather than a user-specific problem (but I'd still create a new user and test with that user to make absolutely certain).
Again, this is not a fix necessarily, but it might get you closer to one.
