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

[Adrian Immanuel Kieß]

Dear Andreas,

I guess a fresh installation is not yet an option right now, since it
would make to much effort.

I guess I'll wait until GDM 3.10 hits Debian/testing.

The only thing, if I find some time, I could do is set up a new virtual
installation of Debian/testing.

But you see, you also run into a bug with the display managers. :-)

I hope that an Xorg or DM update will fix things for me.

Also can't await to see E18 in Debian. Maybe your E17 crashes because of
the by default enabled composite manager, I also have to disable the
module for E17.3 because with it enabled things get very slow and
sluggish.

With many greetings,

Adrian
