The Super_L key and <Alt><F1> work as expected but no programs can be started as everything just shows up as blue windows. These windows have the expected size and seem to receive keyboard input as well as pass it on to the respective program, e.g. Terminal. No output is visible, though. The programs can be stopped in the normal way, e.g. by (blindly) typing <Ctrl>D in the Terminal window. Logout is also possible without problems. I have tried reinstalling first gdm3 and gnome-session and the the whole system without effect.

Looks like an X problem. Can you attach you Xorg.0.log. Do you use a
properietary driver?
