my sweet /home is on a separate physical drive and I hope now to be able to mess a little bit around without losing all data...:) > What problems are you facing in GNOME?

Is it related to resolution, flickering, output not detected or > bad positioning...? back to my issue: Under KDE everything is in the best order. The image is just as it should be but my HDMI Monitor is not always detected on boot-up. Even when KDE runs the HDMI screen breaks on occasion. When I start GNOME on the other hand the resolution on both screens is poor somehow blurred. My head begins to ache so I think there is also flickering. Positioning is ok.

Yes that's right. I use HDMI and VGA ports. I can't use dvi because my second Monitor is an older model with an interesting almost square geometry - very good for reading. Up to now I don't miss the extended 3D capabilities but you never know... best regards Boris
