My money says you've been hit by the Gnome Borg - where you are only permitted 
to do things the way the gnome devs have deemed to be appropriate and 
TheOneTrueWay(tm). After all, you are just a user, what do you know? The devs 
know better, you must trust them!

I can't be of much more help to you, I don't use Gnome at all (see above)
