I have a similar experience, and I'm not using Gnome, I'm using XFCE (Xubuntu 10.04).

I have Calibre set to launch on boot, and it uses the --start-in-tray parameter. I find that instead of having to restart Calibre, I just have to click on the tray icon. Then Calibre shows the contents of the window.

A secondary bit of strangeness: when Calibre shows the window, I get a tiny, little, decorationless book-browser window in the upper-left corner of the main window (I chose an external window in preferences.) If I click on the book-browser button, it becomes full size and behaves properly thereafter.

I don't reboot very often, so it doesn't bother me frequently enough to have brought it up.
