I=E2=80=99m testing GNOME on =E2=80=98staging=E2=80=99 now, and had the sam=
e problem (GDM worked
okay, but I could not login).  I fixed it by deleting
=E2=80=9C~/.local/share/gnome-shell/notifications=E2=80=9D.  I left everyth=
ing else in
my home directory as it was.

The newer GNOME seems much nicer, so this is pretty cool.  The only
problems I see so far are that I lost my background picture, there=E2=80=99=
s no
icons or text for NetworkManager on the status bar, and icons aren=E2=80=99t
working for applications in my user profile.  I haven=E2=80=99t updated my
profile yet, so that might help the icons.  We=E2=80=99ll see.

Thanks Ricardo for doing the update!
