I did another session of tries.
Starting in terminal mode and then starting gnome-session manually works.
I attach a log of terminal output and valgrind log.
in gnome-session.log I added a few comments bracketed in:
===============
comment
===============
terminal session + manual gnome-session does not produce any output in ~/.xsession-errors.
the attached .xsession-errors is produced when starting a normal gnome session.
Using this workaround I can use this laptop (I see some error in the terminal log, but they seem harmless), but it is a bit inconvenient :)
