GNOME3 is not expected to work in virtualized environments where

First, make sure your system is fully updated.  Good news, it sounds
like you have a fairly consistent reproducer.  Can you start a terminal
and attempt to run mc (or any newly added launcher)?  Do any errors
present in $HOME/.xsession-errors when you experience the problem?

Thanks,
