Thanks guys! I'm sorry to report that kernel 3.7.3-1 ( http://packages.debian.org/experimental/linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64) seems to have cleared up these problems! :-D
Gnome3 loads as it should. Opera and TorBrowser both launch. Chromium has not yet shown any signs of trouble. If you'd like, I can try plugging in the kernels at http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/ to see which ones, if any, reproduce the bug. ~Tim G.
