Stop that Java bloat application (kill Java if needed) and any others VIRT memory hogs; and CPU hogs as well. Verify Xorg workings (do you see any errors/warnings ?): $ less /var/log/Xorg.0.log Any funny settings on kernel boot line ? # cat /etc/grub.conf If all semms to be normal, and I would expect your GNOME fully functional even with your RAM, you can add the other apps (hogging Mem, perhaps causing swap activities) one by one to see the effects.
