  Okay, the next thing to do (after Thomas Charron's .gnomerc idea) is
poke around under /etc/X11/ for anything that looks like a shell
script or initialization file.  Generally speaking, everything starts
in there, somewhere.  In particular, if the system is using gdm, the
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file may prove instructive.

  Are the misbehaving systems running anything resembling a standard
platform (e.g., Red Hat X.Y, or Solaris Z, or Debian 3.14159, or
whatever)?
