[SOLVED] Gnome screen black with only mouse cursor after login

After logging in with GDM this morning I just got a black screen with a frozen mouse cursor. After some time I could move the mouse cursor but I still only had blank screen.

After disabling all plugins I was again able to get the Gnome desktop up. I tracked the issue down to being the Forge tiling extension.

If you encounter the same problem you can solve the problem the following way
- In the GDM login screen press CTRL-ALT-F2 to get a TTY login prompt
- Login as your normal user
- Execute command - gnome-extensions disable forge@jmmaranan.com
- Logout and change back to GDM login screen by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1
- Login as normal and Gnome should now start again
