In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc, it tries to load ~/.gnomerc but it fails because of the change of the gnome-session's startup process. Let's see this part of the 55gnome-session_gnomerc: BASESTARTUP=${STARTUP%% *} BASESTARTUP=${BASESTARTUP##*/} if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager ]; then BASESTARTUP=$(basename $(readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager)) fi case "$BASESTARTUP" in gnome-session*) GNOMERC=$HOME/.gnomerc if [ -r "$GNOMERC" ]; then . "$GNOMERC" fi In Bionic, at the time of launching 55gnome-session_gnomerc, the value of $STARTUP is "gnome-session" and it works properly. In Focal, however, the value of $STARTUP is "env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu /usr/bin/gnome-session --systemd --session=ubuntu", and $BASESTARTUP became "env", then it skips loading ~/.gnomerc.
