No.

Yes, perhaps. 

Installing the 'metacity' package and restarting gdm3 service has
solved the problem. I guess we should go for requesting to update the
dependencies for the gdm3 package in order to fix and close this bug.

Currently 'metacity' is a suggestion only:

"
[qmi at szonja: ~]$ apt-cache depends gdm3
(...)
  Suggests: libpam-gnome-keyring
  Suggests: metacity
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Suggests: gnome-mag
  Suggests: gnome-orca
(...)
"
