Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.14.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I upgraded this unstable system after being away for 2 weeks. 
After rebooting I could no longer use the system after log in. 
The screen looks ok, the mouse is moving, but I cannot click anywhere nor does the usual behavior take place when the mouse is entering the upper left corner.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Logging in. The greeter is working ok, mouse is working normally.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
I am logged in without being able to do any mouse related work. No opening of windows, no starting of applications, not even logging out again.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
A normal working desktop.


I attach the journal lines containing gnome-session entries.
