Sorry, I really have no idea. If I had to guess I'd say it sounds like
something in the Gnome settings has become messed up somehow, but I
don't know what to tell you to look for. It doesn't sound like the
problem is an the driver or Xserver level though, since both the display
manager and KDE can use the touchpad just fine.
