(replying to myself)
I eventually forced Gnome shell to start by directly hacking
gnome-session-check-accelerated; I have no idea whether this is kosher.
# cd /usr/libexec
# mv gnome-session-check-accelerated gnome-session-check-accelerated.orig
# vi gnome-session-check-accelerated
create new file with the following two lines:
#!/bin/sh
exit 0
# chmod 755 gnome-session-check-accelerated
