Have you also checked in the /etc/pam.d/* ? Your mate desktop will probably use a different pam-auth into the system from the one gnome will use. I remember that way back in the past I always had to change at least one pam.d file before beeing able to login from gnome desktop.

This is probably a dumb question, but did you make sure there weren't any
gnome-related dot files left, such as .gnome3 or something similar?  Also,
check under .config if you haven't.  I don't really think this is the issue,
but it can't hurt to be sure.

Yes, I did.  Also under ~/.local.
I finished with find's of "-iname '*gnome*'" and "-iname '*gconf*'".

One further test, created a new user and it could not login into
gnome either.
