Description:

gnome-shell is depending on gdm....
When trying to run gnome-shell without gdm, it will quit with gjs errors not able to find Gdm's gir(sorry it is hard for me to copy the error message now.) installing gdm (and its dependency metacity) solves the problem.

This dependency (gnome-shell is indirectly depending on metacity now) doesn't really make sense and I'm not sure whether the dependency should be added or either of them should be split.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 3.6.1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Install gnome-shell
remove gdm
start gnome-shell
gnome-shell crashes

I'll be happy to provide my package list if necessary.
This task depends upon

Errr, is it possible to change the name now?... Or do I need to open a new one?

Indeed, you need admin permissions to edit bug reports (even your own); I guess the best would be for you to create a new one, possibly including the gjs error that you were mentioning but could not copy-paste.
