Bug#850116: gdm3: gnome-session-f called from gdm3 SEGVs when run with SE Linux enforcing

Source: gdm3
Severity: normal

gdm3 fails to start when SE Linux is enforcing and the kernel message log has
many messages like the ones below.

To reproduce this, have a system running gdm3 and run the following commands:
apt-get install selinux-policy-default selinux-basics
selinux-activate
reboot
selinux-config-enforcing
reboot

Then you should have the SEGVs.

I don't expect you to fix this for Stretch.  Anyone who wants an X login
program running with SE Linux will just have to use sddm or xdm.
