I can't answer your question, but I can suggest that you install another 
window manager until you get Gnome sorted out:

sudo apt-get install blackbox bbkeys

When you see the GDM login screen, select "Sessions" and choose Blackbox 
when you wish to use the Blackbox window manager. Read the manual pages 
for blackbox and bbkeys if you're not already familiar with them:

man blackbox
man bbkeys
