In my experience, GNOME has had this problem since version 1.0; almost every time I've upgraded, something has broken. Most of the time I've just given up and nuked ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome-private, and then recreated my desktop configuration. It doesn't seem very reasonable to expect the Debian packagers to try to fix upstream bugs like this.
