Cannot launch terminal or nautilus in 18.04

After upgrading to 18.04, I cannot launch terminal or nautilus from the favorites side bar. Xterm, however, is fine, and from there I can execute at least nautilus. Running gnome-terminal in the xterm window do nothing, except the warning "AT-SPI: Could not obtain desktop path or name"
Ctrl + Alt + T won't start the terminal, either. Nothing happens.
PS: I went from Ubuntu 16 through Ubuntu 17.10 without really using 17, perhaps I had the problems there, too.

I can answer my own question. It seems that the problem had something to do with old configuration files. I cleaned out a lot of stuff in the "dot" directories, as per hints elsewhere, and now it works as intended.

Looking at the userids, this is not "your own question" ...

In fact it is; I just did not understand the different ways of logging in to this forum.
