So does anyone have any idea what happened? Is my system now doomed to
having to just deal with this? WindowMaker and KDE and everything else
work just fine but if I want to use Gnome I can't really, it's like
everything is gone that I did with it.

First thing to do is to check and see if it's Gnome that's broken, or
just some config file specific to your user account. The way to test
that is to create another user and use the new account to start up a
Gnome session. If it's Gnome that's broken, the new account will have
the same problems your normal account has. If not, the new account will
have the normal Gnome desktop.

That was actually the first thing I did. I have two user accounts on most of
my machines so if something happens I can use the other to make sure of what
it is. When it did the same thing for that account that's when I figured it
was a system wide problem and why I was thinking about uninstalling as it was
more than a user account configuration problem but system wide,

Thanks / danke
