Hi Suvayu,

As I mentioned in a previous email, I use MATE and, as you,
I have no gnome-shell after login.

In that message I also said that I will test if gnome-shell
is started *for* the login screen, which would be consistent
with the original report.  That was my test 1: before actual
login and start of a session.


Hi Ben,

For low-end systems it can also be worth switching to XDM:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDM_(display_manager)

    yum info xorg-x11-xdm
    Description : X.Org X11 xdm - X Display Manager

I suspect that XDM is less likely to be unexpectedly "tweaked"
by future desktop developments. :-)
