There is a rule: "never touch a running system" which means if something works let it work. through your process you are exposed to bugs without a way back. this is just an advise to review the process I don't use Gnome, because gtk with the concept behind caused a lot of trouble long time ago and could not convince me that it will ever get better so I can't help much. But ... there should be logging facility and you need perhaps to enable something somewhere to see where it is coming from or what is happening when the problem appears. I usually look first in ~/.xsession-errors someone else perhaps could help on where and how to debug gtk/gnome
