I removed ~/.cache and ~/.config/gnome*, and I moved .xsession out of
the way, but I still cannot start GNOME.  GDM comes up fine, but after
inputing my credentials the mouse cursor skips to the bottom right
corner and then I=E2=80=99m thrown back into the GDM login screen.

There is nothing relevant in /var/lib, I think.

I=E2=80=99ve also tried to do this in a VM, but everything is terribly slow=
, so
I can=E2=80=99t get past the GDM login screen.

I=E2=80=99d be happy if other people could test this, too.  If you have
suggestions on how I could debug this, please do let me know.
