I'm a KDE user, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I googled a
bit, and you're not alone (even if your error is obscure). Unfortunately
I failed to find a clear cut solution.

However, you may try to start gnome with another user, or erase (move)
your .gnome .gconf etc. and retry. It seems something in your
configuration files is weird.
