Public bug reported:
The fix for bug 2120413 was supposed to retry the preferred display
server option (generally Wayland) before falling back to another option
(generally Xorg).
After the update however, gdm is seen retrying Wayland forever instead and
never falling back to Xorg.
This only happens when auto-login is enabled. With auto-login disabled instead,
GDM correctly falls back to Xorg after 5 retries of Wayland.
The bug is Invalid for questing and newer, because there is no Xorg
session to fall back to, as there's only Wayland.
Evidence:
* no auto-login:
