Bug#1081940: gnome-session: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." screen because of screensaver

[Michael Ott]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 46.0-8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Gnome crashed regularly without a reason. The most problems I do have with
virt-manager, videos and rocket.chat video call

The only reason I found was that:

journalctl -xe -t gnome-session

But the screensaver seems to run:

ps -ef | grep gjs
