Bug#735628: gdm3: Does not restart system when clicking {Restart}

[Adrian Immanuel Kieß]

Dear Andreas,

installing systemd-shim helped fine.

I'd like to note that GDM3 in Debian/testing now takes a great time to
load and that the console output is not shown right when GDM3 leaves X
mode.

Additionally; I've read on http://www.phoronix.com/ that Debian now
possibly likes to switch to systemd. Is it recommended now to switch to
systemd and install systemd-sysv?

Thank you very much.

With many greetings,

Adrian
