A guy on Reddit helped me. If I click logout I get this popup message:
xmessage
VBoxClient: Failed to register resizing support, rc=VERR_RESOURCE_BUSY
OK
then the whole screen appears and I can use the desktop. And I can also log out if I click log out again.
But when I restart the error happens all over again and I have to get the error popup before I can use the desktop.
I don't know about the xorg thing because I don't have a login screen, I just go straight to desktop.
But it's fine, I gave up on getting Gnome to work anyway because KDE is just so much more configurable and uses less screen space and is neater. I'll try Gnome again in a few years to see if it's improved. Thanks!
