Is there a way I can provide more information?
Come to think of it, capturing the journal output after trying to
start an X11 client might be interesting:
journalctl --user -b0
This was giving me zero results so I ran 'journalctl -b0' and some
things happened when trying to run 'xterm':

Looks like the problem is either that gsd-xsettings fails to start,
or that gnome-shell fails to initialize GDK.
On the former, does
journalctl --user-unit=org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XSettings.service -b0
or
systemctl --user status org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XSettings.service
provide more information about the failure?
journalctl gives me this:

The message in french from gsd-xsettings is "Cannot open display:"
Also, does setting DISPLAY=:1 (or whatever is the default number +
1) work better?
It does not seem to change anything, running 'DISPLAY=:1 xterm'
just hangs (doesn't open a window), the only difference I can see is
that no Xwayland process is started.
What value does $DISPLAY contain after logging in?
What if you try DISPLAY=:1 once Xwayland is running? If that works,
maybe try
DISPLAY=:1 /usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings -v
to see if that gives more information about the failure.
$DISPLAY is :0 after logging in. Using DISPLAY=:1 does not seem to
change anything.
I tried:
DISPLAY=:0 /usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings -v
DISPLAY=:1 /usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings -v
Both print the exact same error message as above, and nothing else.
I tried as well:
/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings -v --display=:0
/usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings -v --display=:1
I get the same error message, but this time it did print back the
display on the error message: "Cannot open display: :1"

Surely you can use a GNOME on Xorg session in the worst case.
Is that still a thing? I can't select Gnome on X11 anymore since
the last few releases of Gnome. GDM simply doesn't give me the
option.
That's unexpected, I can still choose "GNOME on Xorg" on my machines.
Do you have xserver-xorg installed?
Ha, good point. I re-installed the "xserver-xorg" package and now I do
have the "GNOME on Xorg" option back.
Cheers,
