I think you are onto something. Originally, booting back into the older kernel appeared to have fixed things. However, after another lock-up in Gnome (seems to have been Nautilus), that one became unusable as well, the same as my original problem. However, when I would switchdesk to KDE, I had no problems at all. I can get into KDE just fine booting from either kernel, so you are onto something as it only seems that Gnome has somehow become unusable.
