Bug#959215: Can't log in locally with GDM after setting up Chrome Remote Desktop

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.34.1-3

After a user sets up Chrome Remote Desktop for remote device access
and reboots, it is no longer possible for that user to log in locally
using GDM. When the user tries to log in through GDM, the screen turns
black for a moment, and returns immediately to the login screen. It is
still possible for other users to log in.

This was reported upstream at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/580, and fixed by the
commit https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/commit/32646105196ed7a687f3684b69ea544dd01d2ade

I've attached the patch from that commit to this email, which appears
to apply cleanly to 3.34.1.
