CentOS - Nov 2018 - CentOS 7 + GNOME : all icon themes broken after update from CR

I did the update from CR, and have some pretty serious issues.? Until I blew
away (by mv to a different name) the .local and .config directory trees, I
couldn't log in to GNOME at all.? After doing that, I can log in, but if I
do any actual work, GNOME crashes, and abrt-cli from root in vc 2 tells me that
gnome-shell got a SIGSEGV.?I figure all of the updates aren't in CR yet, so
I'm going to pull out my backup machine and work with it until I see if CR
gets more updates.? Good thing I've got vacation scheduled for next week!I
did quite a few other things in trying to troubleshoot, including attempting a
yum distro-sync without CR enabled, which had helped me rollback once before,
but not this time.? Once I get my backup machine set up I can post better
details.

Sorry to hear that. I've updated one workstation (Intel Skylake) to the 
latest packages in CR, and everything works well and smoothly. I like 
the new GNOME. Maybe it's something special to your machines that 
triggered those issues.

Since Red Hat decided to roll in some major GNOME updates between minor
releases, I'm seriously beginning to wonder if I won't be better off
using Fedora on desktops. That's a real question, not a rhetorical one,
BTW. I'm currently experimenting with Fedora 29 and a minimal KDE, and
the result is quite nice.

On servers I'll always use CentOS though.

I'm actually surprised with the jump in gnome versions between minor
point releases.  I guess they trying to strike a different balance for
the GUI / Desktop and Server services.  I actually do appreciate it for
my desktops.  GNOME3 is the default (and likely the most tested) desktop.

There are new gnome-session and gdm updates that I am getting ready to
push to CR .. gnome-session-3.28.1-6.el7.src.rpm and
gdm-3.28.2-10.el7.src.rpm .. no idea what the actually do yet, but you
can see if they fix any of your issues by looking at the upstream
errata, etc.
