I did check, but there were not really good clues in the logs, among other
things because it seemed that ~/.xsession-errors did not get updated. ls
did report that ~/.xsession-errors belongs to me, but it still didn't update
it, which is why I then removed it. But I only did that after removing gdm
as well, so I don't know whether removing gdm or removing ~/.xsession-errors
or both fixed it.
Checking the logs again, I have only this interesting line:

I had selected the older system generation in the grub boot menu.
