I agree but the issue here is having the session closed when doing a simple apt
upgrade...

needrestart and debian-goodies are not installed in our workstations, but we
use needrestart on our servers so I'm familiar with the use of this tool. That
could have been a lead though.

If you are not affected by this there must be something specific with out setup
(we do all kind of tweaks to our Debian installations), that would also explain
why I can't find any complain online since Monday... But I have no clue what it
could be. If you or anyone has any idea where to look that would be great :)

I did not experience this when upgrading several bookworm GNOME machines,
and one bullseye virtual machine. My GNOME session continued to run until
I rebooted the machine manually.
In general I would recommend rebooting the system anyway after installing
security updates in core library packages like libglib2.0-0, otherwise
running programs and sessions will remain vulnerable.
Are you sure you were not using some tool like checkrestart or needrestart
that detected gdm3 as a service that was affected by the security-fixed
versions of libglib2.0-0, and offered to restart it for you?
In needrestart's default configuration, it will default to not
restarting gdm3 and other known display managers (this is set up in
$nrconf{override_rc}, in /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf), but if they
are explicitly selected to be restarted, it will assume you are aware of
the consequences and do as you ask.
I don't know whether checkrestart has similar mechanisms.
If you *do* restart gdm3, then it is probably expected that active GUI
sessions managed by gdm3 will be terminated - that's why needrestart avoids
doing this by default.

Bug#1070837: gnome-shell: Last Gnome-Shell upgrade crashes logged session
Package: gnome-shell Version: 43.9-0+deb12u2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@security.debian.org Hi ! In Bookworm last gnome-shell upgrade 43.9-0+deb12u1 -> 43.9-0+deb12u2 closes current logged session. Same issue with Bullseye (3.38.6-1~deb11u1 -> 3.38.6-1~deb11u2). Doesn't look like an actual crash in logs : "mai 10 10:16:14 ene-natl-pc-530 systemd[1]: Stopping gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager... mai 10 10:16:15 ene-natl-pc-530 systemd[1]: gdm.service: Deactivated successfully. mai 10 10:16:15 ene-natl-pc-530 systemd[1]: Stopped gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager. mai 10 10:16:15 ene-natl-pc-530 systemd[1]: Starting gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager... mai 10 10:16:15 ene-natl-pc-530 systemd[1]: Started gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager" But rather a GDM restart.
