Bug#907802: gnome-session: Login to Xorg session impossible using lightdm and sddm

[Adrian Immanuel Kiess]

Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 3.28.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     Upgrading the system
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     Login to GNOME session (Xorg) using a display manager such as lightdm and
sddm no longer works
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     Working login to a GNOME session using a standard display manager

in Debian/testing I can't login to a Xorg GNOME session using a standard
display manager such as
lightdm or sddm for a certain time. Thishow I like to report this bug.

Login to a GNOME session (Xorg) works fine using xinit and .xinitrc from a
login to the console.
Also I can login to Enlightnment and twm from a display manager such as lightdm
and ssdm, which
works fine.

Login from a display manager using "GNOME" or "Default Xession" (which has exec
gnome-session at
the end) does not work.

Can you please have a look at this. I can't find any errors in .xsession-
errors. After supplying
the correct password the screen gets blank something tries to load and then I
get thrown back
to the login window of the display manager.

Thank you very much,

Adrian Immanuel Kieß
