Try using debsums (probably with -a and -s flags) to
verify installed packages - hopefully it will pick up
any problems.

In case it's a problem with the user configuration
files, does it work if you add a new user and login as
them (ie. brand new setup) ?

Also maybe try running just a terminal ("xinit" on the
console should do it). If it works there, it's
probably a Gnome problem... if not, most likely X
itself. Should help to narrow things down :)
