** Description changed:

  Impact
  ------
  If a person installs gnome-shell (and not ubuntu-gnome-desktop) on Ubuntu and 
choose gdm3, they will be unable to log in.
  
  Workaround: install ubuntu-gnome-default-settings
+ 
+ This reverts a change that was made in gdm 3.16.
  
  Test Case
  ---------
  From Ubuntu (Unity), run
  sudo apt install gdm3
  
  Choose gdm3 when prompted.
  Restart.
- You should get a login screen.
+ You should get a login screen. Your desktop session (Unity or whatever) 
should still be the same as whatever you last successfully logged in with.
  
  Regression Potential
  --------------------
+ This patch was accepted upstream. It only affects the default session for the 
'gdm' system user.
