You can try to kill gnome-session-failed from another virtual console. This
doesn't terminate gnome-session, and existing apps in the session can keep
running. As your gnome-shell seems to work fine, you can use it to start a
terminal and use tools to debug the problem. If you want to use gnome-terminal,
make sure that your locale uses UTF-8 encoding or it will refuse to run.

I think it may be useful to run gnome-settings-daemon in a terminal by typing
'/usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec &' to see whether it
prints error. If gnome-settings-daemon is already running, you may have to kill
it first.

I cannot test the result for you because GNOME 3.16 works fine on my machines.
I use Intel GPU and I don't have ATI or NVIDIA card to test.

How did you upgrade GNOME, from packages or by building ports? If you use
packages, which repository is used, latest or quarterly? It seems some people
(from the forum post) just upgraded from 3.14 to 3.16 recently, but the GNOME
3.16 upgrade was committed to ports more than five months ago.
