There are some warnings and errors in this one, but I'm not quite sure
which one could be the problem; you can get them with a grep:

    grep -i '\(warning\|error\)' gnome-3.12.1-error2.txt | grep -v Xorg

1. The GetAll() and ServiceUnknown erros are often not problematic.

2. "Unable to register client with session manager" I get too; so, not a
problem.

3. There is "Gvc-WARNING **: Failed to connect context: OK" but that is
GNOME volume control if I understood correctly; so, also not a problem.

4. The Polkit Error "No permission to trigger offline updates" might be
more concerning; though, it should just affect the update part.

5. "JS ERROR: could not get remote objects for service
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Smartcard" I think is due to a missing USE
flag option for the gnome-settings-daemon package; I think that's
supposed to work, so, I also don't see this as a problem.

6. "Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service failed to load" is
also something non-fatal; so, also not a problem.

TL;DR: One of these could be it, or not at all; I think the problem
you're having right now doesn't manifest itself as a warning or error,
but instead as an input / graphical problem.

Can you try a different version of GNOME? A newer might have fixed it.

If you need instructions on how to switch between specific version,
feel free to let me know. I'll try to figure out the sequence to switch
between users later today, when I can reboot my system.
