Hibernation is a real bleeding-edge system. I've found a lot of problems
fixed over time by upgrading to the last kernels, software-suspend-2
patches, and software-suspend-2 scripts.

My wireless system doesn't hibernate properly at all. Hence, in my
hibernate.conf (actually /etc/hibernate/common.conf now):

   UnloadModules ath_pci ath_hal ath_rate_sample wlan_scan_sta wlan
   UnloadBlacklistedModules yes
   LoadModules auto
   DownInterfaces ath0
   UpInterfaces ath0

Never seen this, but I would guess it's X.org, not gnome, at fault.

Do you have

  SwitchToTextMode yes

in your hibernate configuration?
