The missing desktop icons are meant to be provided by 'nautilus-desktop'
in 18.04. So that sounds like a symptom of the regression rather than a
cause.
Since the shell clearly mostly loaded before freezing, the first thing I
recommend is to delete any local extensions:
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell
rm -rf extensions
and then log in again. Because local extensions are not supported by
Ubuntu and yet they have the power to do anything to the shell including
break it.

Title:
no windows open in Xorg after latest esm update
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am running Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 with esm support with the default
Gnome desktop. My xorg-server was using 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4.15+esm9
without any problems. Today it was updated to
2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4.15+esm10 and now the desktop is empty; ie no icons
visible and I am unable to open any applications. None of the windows
will open and I am unable to even right click on the desktop to open a
menu. The desktop is totally not working anymore.
