That eliminates the mesa lib problem which was development related and 
the possibility gnome was locking due to an improper reference to localhost.

Where exactly does gnome lock up? Does it lockup at the splash screen on 
a certain ICON? Does it lock up when it is loaded? Do you only get a 
mouse cursor and a blank screen?

Anyway, if you cannot ctl-alt-Fn to a virtual terminal or 
ctl-alt-backspace in order to kill gnome, you probably might get some 
information by the below.
After the crash, reboot the computer into runlevel 3.
While in runlevel 3, check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log log for any 
information on why you have the lockup condition. Alternatively, you 
might find information in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old from the KDE GUI 
related to the bombed session.

The /var/log/Xorg.0.log is session related and will be overwritten when 
you start a new X session.

If you find anything interesting in the log. It might help to pinpoint 
why you get this lockup.
