Bug#811551: gdm3: Unresponsive blank screen after logging out

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.18.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Regularly, after logging out, instead of the gdm3 greeter screen I get a blank (black)
screen which does not respond to the mouse (the 'I' mouse pointer does not move) nor to
the keyboard (Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F1, Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+F2, etc have no effect).

This can happen both after a regular logout or when changing user.

The only solution to get is to run '/etc/init.d/gdm3 restart'. However doing so requires
logging in via ssh and of course it kills any running X session if gdm3 got stuck when
changing to another account.

This is also unlike the other 'blank screen' reports in that in my case this bug is not
systematic (but still happens regularly), never happens on boot, and that restarting
gdm3 gets it working again.


I'm attaching the relevant portion of /var/log/user.log collected when gdm3 was stuck.
Let me know what other information is needed and I'll try to collect it the next time
gdm3 gets stuck.
