I use Gnome on ~amd64 and everything is working fine.
I don't use pulse audio, just alsa.
I also had those issues with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.35 as Paul said.
Other than that I can't think of something right now.
Are all packages well? `revdep-rebuild` returns no problems ?

I'm asking because gnome is working perfectly on my ~x86 machine

The problem is that gnome-settings-daemon and pulse audio are
crashing during startup, i.e. they appear as defunct processes
once gnome is up and running.
It's a bit like the bug a few months ago where the gnome-settings-
daemon restarted too many times error message popped up, but this
time there are no error messages anywhere.
Another odd thing is that I can't use Ctrl-C to kill any processes
that I start from an xterm.
Anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks.
I had the same problem. In my case it was caused by
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.35 and changing to a different version
fixed it. Maybe you should check to see if you are using this version,
or try a different version (older/newer)... if you're not using
nvidia-drviers at all, then I have no idea what to say except good
luck :)
