Either one of the GNOME entries or GNOME Xorg should be the correct 
session. There have been some reports of the control center not working 
well with Orca, but I didn't think that extended as far as the shortcut 
settings, so maybe just try GNOME without choosing the Xorg or Wayland 
version.

Nothing at all. You simply choose which desktop you want to see from the 
menu, just as you did when you selected GNOME Xorg. The system will 
default to the last desktop you started, unless you select another from 
the menu, for example MATE. Then every time you log in on the system, 
you will see MATE until you choose a GNOME option from the session menu 
again. Hope this helps.
