Bug#896647: gnome-shell: Gnome 3.28.1 update with GJS has login panel in an endless loop cycle

[Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.28.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Not exactly sure how much the update to GJS would effect credentials and security between gnome-session/gnome-shell and gdm3 but since 4/19 update to GJS rebooting the system made gnome shell unusuable, kicking me out of a session before fully authenticating, leaving back at the login in screen indefinitely. It can't be gdm3 as the same behavior happens if sddm is in charge with me trying to get into a new GNOME session. Fails for Fallback, Wayland and Xorg.

- Marc
