Bug#730399: gdm3: Does not start after upgrade

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.8.4-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have experienced a problem similar to #722930, #724731, #730093 and
#730177, but not exactly the same (as far as I can judge). After
upgrading to 3.8 I cannot start gdm. 

The exact behaviour depends on which X.Org video driver is used.

With "nouveau" driver (default for my graphics adapter, from
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package) the only thing that I see on the
graphical interface start is the screen with the inscription: "Oh no!
Something has gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't
recover. All extensions have been disabled as a precaution." and "Log
out" button. Pressing the button leads to getting the same screen
again after a while. Login greeter never appears.

With "modesetting" driver (having disabled "nouveau") I get the login
window and can log in, but then I see but background image and nothing
else. 

Log files are attached. Files .3 represent a session with "nouveau"
driver, .2 -- the same attempt after pressing "Log out", .1 -- a
session without "nouveau" and the last ones are the logs of the
session in progress with "nouveau" again (then they does not contain
messages generated during the shutdown process).
