    Joss> Is the session bus enabled in /etc/X11/Xsession.options ?


No such file.

Purging x11-common then installing x11-common did the trick.

Now ~/.Xdefaults is ignored.  'mv ~/.Xdefaults ~/.Xresources' seems
superficially to work, is that sufficient?  Can you please point me
toward what I should know about using ~/.Xresources?  (My
~/.Xresources has 110 non-comment lines.)

As far as I can see gnome-session is working fin for me now.

Thank you for your speedy and helpful response.
