I had a similar issue with gnome3 as you originally reported.
( xsession started but desktop didn't finish loading )
I noticed gnome-session or gnome-settings-daemon was seg faulting
and I read a bug report with a similar gnome3 session? settings-daemon? seg
fault - two weeks ago?.
If I remember correctly after I purged gnome-session I found a few new
gnome3-session packages
in unstable/experimental that installed without issue, than the desktop loaded
completely again.
