any errors occuring during startup should be in $HOME/.gnome-errors or $HOME/.xsession-errors. also, does GNOME startup when reverting the driver? just as a test? if so, that indicates it's not GNOME, but the driver. is this the NVIDIA driver? if so, are you using the latest version? older versions had a bug which GNOME triggered and crashed the X server, iirc. have you contacted the driver vendor to see if they have reports of similar problems from other users?
