~/.local/share/gnome-shell/application_state is a common problem. It
contains some state that different versions of GNOME seem to be choking
on. There are some other files like ~/.cache/gnome* that might affect
GNOME and prevent starting after upgrades. It’s frustrating.
/var/lib/gdm is the home directory of the gdm account, and it too can
accumulate state. In my opinion /var/lib/gdm should always be recreated
on every boot.
