Could you try "losing" a window on the other screen, open a terminal, run "xwininfo" and click on the big, black area where the window got lost? If you want me to guess, gnome is for some reason opening a big, black window and putting it on top of everything else. At least that's the only way that I can think of that could cause this. Also, the output of "xwininfo -root -tree" might be interesting (while having only a few windows open). Uli -- Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
