I don't know a lot about gnome, just used it a few times, but finally chosen for KDE in my LFS system. But what i've wanted to say is that installing problems other than there default location mostly gives a lot of problems. I had this with my KDE too. If you're really out of luck, you could symlink the files in /etc/gnome to /etc, then the problem would probably be fixed, but it's a real dirty solution..
