Gnome is a known consumer of colour resources, and it's applications
aren't very graceful when they run out (as they do with our 8 bit
framebuffer), it could be that you are simply running out of them.
You can use a true colour visual at this depth (the colours are pretty
ratty, but at least you never run out) by adding
Visual "TrueColor"
To the SubSection "Display" part that covers you.
