I don't understand what you mean by "I can't get gnome to work with my existing user directories". Is it just that you have some old gnome configuration in .gnome and .gnome2 in these home directories so that gnome crashes or is all munged up when it loads? I have found that when moving or syncing old home directories to machines with new versions of the software it takes a bit of management of the .files and .directories. I would try with a new fresh user as Ted has suggested and then start whittling away any . directory/file in your home dir that might have gnome config info: .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 ... etc. Or back the whole dir up and then blast all the .files and .dirs and see if it works. Then if it works, just restore the files you KNOW you need and use to your live home dir.
