Bug#802215: gdm3: DISPLAY env variable not set correctly for PostLogin script

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.18.0-2
Severity: important
For quite a few years I had an /etc/gdm3/PostLogin/Default script
which was executing the following command to set up a custom keyboard
layout:
setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle' 'us,ru(phonetic)'
After sid update last night this command fails with
Cannot open display ""
A rather unfortunate consequence of that is that the greeter just
displays "Failed to execute PostLogin script" after the password is
entered, failing user login and rendering the system unusable.
