Bug#694791: gdm3 disappears after several log-outs

[Tsu Jan]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.6.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With the Experimental gdm3, after several times of logging out of
GNOME-Shell (6-7 times, for example), the text terminal is shown instead
of GDM. Logging in with the text terminal and restarting gdm3 make it
appear again though.

In addition to that (and perhaps as another bug), GDM's shut-down and
restart menuitems doesn't do anything anymore.

I have nVidia 304.64-2 from Unstable and haven't
changed /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings (gdm uses gdm-fallback).
