Usually this means that your gnome configuration files are screwed up.
I would try 1 of 2 approaches:
1. remove all the gnome directories and files with a : rm -r .gnome*
Those in the oracle directory I mean.
Then login as oracle and they should be created again by the system and
you should succeed in logging in.

2. rename you oracle directory oracle2 and create a new oracle
directory. That should straighten things out as well. Copy any thing
vital from your old oracle directory to the new and then remove the old
one.
