I having this weird problem. It seems that Gnome reverts to standard settings randomly. It does this randomly when I login, touch a program, etc. Sometimes it can go for hours w/o switching settings. I think its a problem with the gnome-settings-daemon crashing or not starting up.

What settings are you talking about exactly ? Have you seen any errors that may have come up? Check your log files and see if anything is amiss.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

basically all the customizations I did to the gnome configuration. Which log files do I check?

Make that the permissions of your home folder is correct.
I had trouble recently with some applications not saving their settings and it showed to be caused because I didn't own my home folder after I've created my user.

Something is messing with you home folder's permissions or it could even get unmounted for some reason (in case it is a different partition than /).

I don't have the home folder in a different partition, I'm pretty sure the permissions are set properly for my home folder.

Same problem here. gnome-settings-daemon does not start up, so I have to manually launch it every time this happens (by right-mouse -> change desktop background).
edit: my gnome starts first with openbox, then switches to compiz... Sometimes it pops an error saying things like some stuff is occupied by another process so gnome-settings-daemon can't (sorry didn't really pay attention to whats in there.. ) Not sure if this is related though
