Different window managers behave differently upon first managing a
window, so I'm not too surprised by these differences.
I'm out of ideas here, but everything so far points at this being a
GNOME bug. Which I can't reproduce, likely due to the difference in
display and graphics hardware between my system and yours.

I doubt this, since by the time the initial window configuration
finishes, Emacs should be in the same state under any window manager.
I'm sorry I couldn't help.
