Bug#791964: gdm3: upgrade causes X session to be terminated

[David Mohr]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.14.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the changelog reads:
  * Systemd has been fixed in v222 to no longer kill services on reload
    if BusName is set, so drop that part from 92_systemd_unit.patch.
but that is EXACTLY what happened to me right now, in the middle of
doing some work. That's highly unacceptable IMHO.

I ran an apt-get upgrade, and suddenly my X session closed and I was
brought back to the gdm login screen.

Pretty busy right now, but do let me know what could help to pinpoint
this issue and I'll try to provide more details.

~David
