Gnome glitches, oversaturated and over brightened image

setup:

* latest Arch (-Syu says up to date)
* GNOME
* amd+amd (igpu m780)

Issues are visible on the images. Whole desktop glitches, oversaturates, overbrightens everything.

It happened today. All the windows that were open prior to this issue behaved normally. New windows already exhibited this behavior. After the reboot every window acts up. I... did not really do anything to the system (yeah, sure ;-) ). here's what I have found out so far

* happens the same under X11 and Wayland
* disabled extensions, the same
* I removed all the settings: dconf reset -f /org/gnome/
* does NOT happen in GDM
* does NOT happen with a new user (browsers work, video works, all the apps display normally)
* no errors in dmesg, nothing obvious in journal
* some apps are more affected than the others

So it seems there's something wrong with my session and session only. But I have NO idea what.

Re: Gnome glitches, oversaturated and over brightened image

Solved, user error, as expected. I have removed offending configuration and everything works as expected.
