Bug#674899: gdm3: shows empty screen after wakeup from suspend to ram

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi all,

After wakeup from s2ram I again and again find gdm not showing anything 
but the empty background, not very helpful.

The only thing I found in the logs was in /var/log/gdm3/:0-greeter.log
which contained near the end
	WARNING: App 'gdm-simple-greeter.desktop' respawning too quickly
	WARNING: Error on restarting session managed app: Component 'gdm-simple-greeter.desktop' crashing too quickly
and that's it.

But the greeter itself does not leave any traces AFAICS, no log file, not
information, no crash report in the dmesg/var/log/messages...

Norbert
