Bug#747292: gdm3: Unable to login after last upgrade (version 3.8.4-7): fails to start a GNOME session

Sure, I did not meant to say that it was OK. I was just giving a workaround
to be able to continue working using the computer. I fully agree that using
lightdm is not a solution :)

Yes, I'm also running unstable and there was since this report two new
version of gdm3, but all fails the login.

Not sure what causes this problem at this point...
