You might want to check the color depth of your document. If it's indexed color then the document may not be able to create smooth gradients because their aren't enough colors in the pallet. You can tell if this is the problem (on 2.6.8) by going through the menus to image->mode->... If image->mode->indexed is selected then the document is indexed color, and you should change it to image->mode->RGB.
