However, after rebooting following the install, and logging in to
gnome, it seems to be repeatedly trying to start/re-start something

slow (as if a process in continually crashing and restarting) and the
appearance of the desktop cycles thru a series of subtle but
disturbing changes that I'll call "wiggling" for want of a better word.

I have seen behaviour more or less like this when the clock was set
wrongly, i.e. to 1904 or something, so check that the clock setting is
reasonable. (I have no idea why a bogus clock setting upsets gnome so
much.)
