Description imese 2021-04-06 13:58:41 UTC
issue 'startx'
gnome partially starts.
'oh no something happened' (paraphrase} message appears. gnome-shell hasn't started.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.startx
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
gnome-terminal starts and whatever startup apps are desired. However there are no gnome functions avaiable. Only one app has the focus, no task bar. Nothing else.

Expected Results:  
gnome should startup normally and all gnome functions should be available
