Bug#596897: gdm3: first x screen gets darker on user switch

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.2-4
Severity: normal

When switching user from a gnome session, sometimes the first session screen
gets darker. The user would have to log out and in again to get a normal
brightness on the screen.

The cause of the problem might be be some other package, but I couldn't
think
of any.
