- remember to unhold when this problem is fixed
- reboot and you have infinite uptime again

GNOME recovery that does not work:
systemctl restart lightdm.service
- fails because dbus is affected by the resource leak
- the screen saver something refused to load and you go back to greeter
ps -fC dbus-daemon
- kill the instance owned by your user name
killall lightdm
now systemctl restart lightdm.service
- but GNOME is still hosed and will after a kinute or so terminate your 
applications with SIGTRAP
- /var/crash fills up with crash files
- instead, do the downgrade and reboot

You cannot use gdm3 because of poor architecture from the GNOME Project in 
3.16, 2 years ago:
