I wouldn't be surprised if you are running out of memory, and so every
application crashes the first time it tries to allocate some. If you run
the program from a terminal and watch what it prints, it might print an
error to that effect. That's the only explanation I can think of for all
of Gnome going down.

If that's not possible can you try to send us a stack trace?

bash$ gdb programname
(gdb) run 
[cause crash]
(gdb) bt
