Arch Linux

Description:
============

gdm 3.30.1-1 fails to honor "settings" like the session choice from last successful login, and the profile picture.

I'm not sure the regression lies exactly in 3.30.1-1.
What I'm sure about is that the initial gdm 3.30.x release ( 3.30.0+2+gef231c27-1 ) didn't exhibit the problem, so looking at https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/gdm , the regression happened in one of releases [ 3.30.0+4+g839c9501-1 , 3.30.0+6+g5db19c5b-1 , 3.30.1-1 ]

I'm not the only affected user: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/9jkbaf/gdm_suddenly_ignores_my_settings/

Additional info:
================

* gdm 3.30.1-1 x86_64
* Config: none; my /etc/gdm/ directory is default/untouched
* Log: the last entry of `journalctl -u 'gdm*'` is:

Steps to reproduce:
===================

1. Login to Gnome using Xorg session.
2. Using Gnome's control center, set a user account picture
3. Reboot machine

Expected:

- GDM offers by default Xorg session and displays user account picture.

Actual:

- GDM offers by default Wayland session and displays placeholder user account picture.
