Package: upgrade-reports
Followup-For: Bug #866758
Following the Debian upgrade below, GDM3 boots to a blank *graphical desktop*
when Default X11 login is selected. Desktop shuts down automatically after
several minutes, (usually.)
The cursor is active at login prompt, then disappears if 'System X11 Default,'
'Gnome,' 'Gnome Classic,' is selected and the login button is pressed. An
unresponsive desktop background displays with no cursor.
The desktop appears to start normally only when 'Gnome on Wayland' is selected.
(However, some applications still have display issues on Wayland, including
Gedit. Therefore, this workaround is not very satisfactory.)
