Bug#760366: gdm3: Stopped showing any users, no way to log in

[Sebastian Pipping]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-2.1
Severity: important

Since I upgraded my system today, gdm3 does not show any users for selection
and no input fields asking for user names or passwords. So log-in to anyone is
not possible. I needed to switch to another terminal and install kdm. I'm
hoping for a quick fix so I can switch back to gdm3.
