I start XBMC in exactly the same fashion, except I am using mythbuntu,
which uses XFCE rather than Gnome.

So I expect Gnome3 is in fact the problem, or perhaps the line you use
in the myth menu to start it.

What is the line you use? There are I think two ways of starting an
external programme in a mythtv menu.

Sorry to be a little vague, I don't have access to the home machines from work.
