No, what I meant to ask was if you have the last snapshot of the overlay. The overlay is a git repository (I believe most overlays are git repositories), and they are updated when you do layman -S (if you use layman). >> Can you try to start GNOME with a clean config (no ~/.config, no >> ~/.local, no ~/.gconf, no ~/.gnome*).

Then is either a config problem, or there was something funny in the snapshot of the overlay that you used. If the clean config doesn't work, update the overlay from git (or use layman -S) and reemerge all the installed ebuilds inside the overlay.
