Bug#592549: gdm3 on {re, }start on kfreebsd displays only a black screen with an X cursor

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.2-4
Severity: important
User: debian-bsd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-bsd at lists.debian.org

On gdm3 start, or restart, only a black screen is displayed with an X
shaped X cursor with the cursor moveable. If I try to change to a
console VT then this appears to trigger a new X session to start and
this is displayed rather than the console VT. This new X session is also
black with an X shaped X cursor with the cursor moveable. This keeps
happening until eventually I can switch to a console VT.

* gdm3 on i386[1] does not have this issue.
* xdm on kfreebsd-i386[1] and i386[1] does not have this issue.
