I'm to the point I was ready to completely delete Gnome and reinstall it but then it seems to be that if I do the system could break with all my other apps that need something from Gnome.
I feel your pain. I experimented a bit with the rotating cube desktop effects, and somehow I got myself into a situation where my screen (in KDE) was all white. When I logged off and back on, the startup music played, and everything seemed normal, except I couldn't see the background, icons, task bar ... everything was all white. (Now I know what "this is very experimental" means!) In my case, Gnome worked just fine, but I really don't care much for Gnome. So I edited a config file and changed back to Xorg, then KDE worked again, but of course, no rotating cube. After a day or so of trying everything I could think of to get things working again, I finally just gave up on the rotating cube desktop, and I'm happily using KDE again without the damned cube.
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.
YaST offers the opportunity to *update* an installation, rather than remove it and start over. Have you tried that? It just might work, especially if it restores your Gnome configuration back to original default settings. You could do a lot worse than to use KDE, if that's working well for you, but I understand wanting to get back to an environment you feel comfortable with.
