I had this problem. I moved all .gnome*, .gconf*, and .nautilus directories and files I could find out of the way which seems to have solved it. So far it is still good after restarts and reboots. I did it logged out of X and gnome from a console. Making sure all the gnome processes had also been killed. Have fun, digger
