This only happens to me when I start the actual gnome-session standing in 
another dir; e.g.:

I stand in /usr  and start my session from there, all terminals and other 
applications reorienting (not memorizing where last use was) start from 
/usr ...

So maybe your startup-scripts walk to ~/.gnome before starting up gnome ?
