I'm presented with a white screen with only a mouse pointer. I can move the
pointer, but nothing else works. Since GDM doesn't give me any option to go to
the command line, there is absolutely nothing I can do. The only thing different
I did was that I installed and ran Gnome Shell. X windows may be trying to run
that again and failing. But with no output of any kind, it's a little hard to
troubleshoot.

Ctrl+Alt+F2 (or F3...F6) - switch to tty 

After you have logged in again,
check System-Preferences-Startup Applications

and clear Automatically remember ...
