gdm and Gnome Shell elements not visible/clickable after recent apt-get dist-upgrade

Wed Aug 20 22:24:43 UTC 2014

Once you have the login screen, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to the TTY. Login with your credentials, and then try the following:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, 

and choose say gdm. Reboot to see if this solves your issue.

Hi guys,

After last "apt-get dist-upgrade" I cannot use gdm.. When computer starts, I receive grey gdm background wallpaper, but no elements there, like account list or buttons.. I can only move mouse cursor on empty screen.

I switched from gdm to lightdm, I received logon screen and I can login, but I use Gnome Shell environment and after successful login I get only wallpaper and top menu, but I cannot click anything, just move a mouse cursor.. very similar symptom to gdm..

I think it's kind of gnome/gtk-related. Any idea how could I troubleshoot this?

This is apt-get history for that event:
