: If session manager craps itself on you rather than reinstalling (system) just just fix your home directory or try/install a new window manager from the console.

~/.local
~/.cache
~/.config
These directories have most of your config stuff for your apps that are not already in their own hidden directories in ~/.
What gnome are you using btw? If its one of the modern v3 ones I would suggest the older Mate based desktops (gnome 2 based libs) or Cinnamon (if you want gnome3 libs).

- ) go to a console (hold CTRL-ALT F4 )
- ) backup (tar.gz your /home/kharz dir)
- ) nuke your /home/user directory for a *clean* setup (rm -rf /home/kharz/ )
- ) Leave a blank /home/kharz/ with propper permissions for starters.
- ) kill/restart Xorg from htop
- ) log into account
- ) restore other home stuff by hand (except the crap that bricked your config)
