I use a NNTP gateway as well.
That seems the obvious conclusion. I was pretty gobsmacked, though, when my system came up in a totally different graphical environment.
May it happen that you have GNOME and GDM3 installed before despite you usual session was xfce? Do you have xfce as an alternative to GNOME? You should still have dpkg and apt logs, so you may try to figure out what happened during upgrade.
The takeaway (for me, anyway) is that upgrading a system is a complicated and hazardous process which requires a lot of study before attempting it.
Do release notes fall into your "a lot" category? Skimming through package lists presented by apt may be tedious to some degree, but it allows to spot something unexpected.
