Package: gdm3
Version: 43.0-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Dear Maintainer,
in multiseat setups, gdm3 is limited to only support Wayland sessions on seat0.
There are patches for gdm3 and gnome-shell to enable Wayland sessions for all
seats in a multiseat environment. I use these patches on top of the current
Debian sid packages for some months now without any glitches. I also tested
fast user-switching as requested by the author of these patches.
The original source of the patches is here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/merge_requests/174/commits
I'll open a separate bug for the gnome-shell part of this issue.
Regards,
Tino

Subject: [PATCH 1/7] local-display-factory: Acquire seat name properly
systemd-logind escapes the seat name prior to exposing as a DBus object.
As a result, seat names like "seat-name" may be escaped to
"seat_x2dname" when exposed as a DBus object.
Use DBus to acquire the seat name instead of using the last component of
the object path.
