To provide some context, when this crash can happen: It can happen, after 
attempting to start a remote desktop session, when the screen is locked.
In such case, g-s directly refuses the start request and therefore the lifetime 
of the rdpgfx thread in FreeRDP is very short.

The journal message for this looks like this:
`Failed to start remote desktop session: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Session creation inhibited`

Now, the error here is, that FreeRDP does not correctly wait for the
rdpgfx thread to be created and this can lead to in this situation, that
the rdpgfx thread is not teared down, when stopping the session, which
can can lead to segfaults, like in this report or to memory corruption.

Personally, I was not able to reproduce the error. However, with the help of 
the journal entries I was able to find this cause.
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/pull/7836 takes care of the problem.

Sessions, that are not locked, should not be affected by this issue.
