This is usually caused by a missing/crashing/failing window manager.  The 
default window manager in Gnome is metacity (IIRC).  If you use 
compiz/beryl/compiz-fusion, this may be separated into a different program 
called the window decorator.  The perferred window decorator for Gnome is 
heliodor (IIRC).

Since your KDE window manager seems to work, you should be able to start 
gnome and then start:
kwin --replace
on the same display to get a more functional Gnome desktop.
