If you can tell me why nvidia isn't the cause of these issues I am certainly willing to listen.
BTW, I've noticed that even lowly Intel's 945 runs gnome-shell far more smoothly than my 8400gs with the blob. Bizarre!

I can't help you very much with that, because I don't use Gnome (and I don't like it). I'd recommend you to replace Gnome for Xfce. (just a personal opinion)

From what I've been hearing, current gnome-shell support is working better with mesa drivers than proprietary blobs (either nVidia or fglrx).
