[Erik Hetzner]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.20.1-1

Dear Maintainer,

   * I logged in to a gnome3 session on a new debian testing isntall
   * Expected result: ~/.pam_environment is loaded
   * Actual result: ~/.pam_environment not loaded

Here is some info about my ~/.pam_environment file:

    $ ls -ld .pam_environment
    -rw-r–r– 1 egh egh 424 Aug 25 09:33 .pam_environment
