This is an odd one, basically the gdm login screen doesn't show any user
after a while. There is some text (I can see login failed just in the
middle of the screen if i hit enter twice).

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.8.4-6
Severity: important

I can also (blindly) login by hitting enter (to select me on the login
screen) then enter my password and hit enter. So its there, just not
visible.

How I get this:
  login normally and just do normal stuff
  logout from top-right menu and select logout
  gdm comes back, looks normal with the users etc
  walk away from the monitor for some time
  hit some key to wakeup the monitor and.. the usernames are missing!

I'm not sure how long I need to be away. A few hours is enough.
I've looked in the gdm logs and there are things it might be
but not sure what ones would be helpful.
