Gnome problem and start applications

Hello to all,
Yesterday I did an upgrade of Arch (pacman-Syu) and the machine worked without problems.
When rebooting, it seems that everything functions correctly (I try to login, I see the wifi network and so on ...), but really just try to launch any application (browser, terminal, etc. ...) I see the clock of loading the application, the application you are loading the control panel and then disappears more ... in practice are no longer able to use any application using gnome.
If someone has already stumbled into this problem I ask him the pleasure to give me a hand, because apart from using linux, I can not console (ctrl + alt + f1) do anything else.

Thanks in advance

Look into ~/.xsession-errors for information.

Re: Gnome problem and start applications

into ~/.xsession-errors the message is

Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0"

now gnome works and the difference is that when I started the machine at home it used the wifi connection while here in office there is not wifi connection
