I have the same problem. In fact, I have a _lot_ of problems with gnome. Ever since I started using it my X server inevitably crashes after a fair amount of use. No error messages or anything...It just bails. Also, the panel continually forgets which applets I want in it and sometime it just freezes for no apparent reason.
I really like the features in gnome...it's too bad that it is still _really_ alpha.
