Bug#764658: gdm3: cannot see all session choices on smaller screens

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.13.92-1

On a 1280x800 laptop display, the pop-up "bubble" for the session
chooser in gdm3 cuts off the lower sessions (and offers no scrollbar) so
that I can only select XFCE (for example) by guesswork now.

  $ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
  gnome-bluetile.desktop          gnome.desktop             twm.desktop
  gnome-classic.desktop           kde-plasma.desktop        xfce.desktop
  gnome-fallback.desktop          lightdm-xsession.desktop  xmonad.desktop
  gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop  sawfish.desktop

Perhaps gdm3 should be smarter about the placement of the bubble, add a
scrollbar, or use a more flexible widget.

Thanks
