This bug was fixed in the package gdm3 - 3.20.1-1ubuntu2.1
---------------
gdm3 (3.20.1-1ubuntu2.1) yakkety; urgency=medium
* Add git_restore-session-name-override.patch:
- Explicitly set gdm's session-name to 'gnome'. This fixes the login
screen not starting when the default session is set to something else,
such as when a Ubuntu (Unity) user installs gnome-shell and chooses
gdm but does not install ubuntu-gnome-desktop (LP: #1686257)
