I feel your pain. I experimented a bit with the rotating cube desktop effects, and somehow I got myself into a situation where my screen (in KDE) was all white. When I logged off and back on, the startup music played, and everything seemed normal, except I couldn't see the background, icons, task bar ... everything was all white. (Now I know what "this is very experimental" means!) In my case, Gnome worked just fine, but I really don't care much for Gnome. So I edited a config file and changed back to Xorg, then KDE worked again, but of course, no rotating cube. After a day or so of trying everything I could think of to get things working again, I finally just gave up on the rotating cube desktop, and I'm happily using KDE again without the damned cube. > So does anyone have any idea what happened?

Have you tried that? It just might work, especially if it restores your Gnome configuration back to original default settings. You could do a lot worse than to use KDE, if that's working well for you, but I understand wanting to get back to an environment you feel comfortable with.
