Hi.

I've recently installed gdm3 (now that fast-user-switch-applet has 
disappeared from the repo) and it is just constantly crashing.  The 
following repeating appears in syslog:

Which I realise isn't very useful because of the missing debug, but I 
don't know which packages to install to get the symbols.

On a related note, I couldn't help but notice #610826 which is asking 
for gdm3 to stop restarting after repeated failures, it is very annoying 
to have to reboot just to disable gdm3.

Thanks for your time.
