    It could be a problem with your personal gnome settings. Have you tried removing your .gnome and .gnome2 config directories and logging in again? This would give you the default gnome desktop.

    They're in your home directory, the leading '.' means they're hidden. If you use KDE, then you'll have to tell your file manager to show hidden files. It's probably easier, though to open a konsole command line window (which will normally open in you home directory anyway, and type:

    Code:
    mkdir gnome_backup
mv .gnome* gnome_backup
    this will avoid deleting them, it'll store them in a directory called gnome_backup in case you want to restore them later.

    All you need to do then is log-out of KDE and try logging into gnome.

    Do you have compiz (3d effects) enabled? If you have, try disabling it.
