I don't use gnome-shell, but bspwm, so I guess it is a pure gdm problem.
The fact that it works with slim seems to confirm this.
"Funny" thing, I have 2 different problems!
At home, GDM does not even start. I just see the mouse pointer on the
TTY. Nothing really informative in the logs. Just an endless succession
of "New session c1 of user gdm […] closing session […] New session c2 of
user gdm […]".
At work, I can see the GDM screen, but when I provide my
username/password nothing happens.
I'll try to update my laptop at the WE. Hope I won't end up with yet
another variation of the problem! ^_^'
If I have some meaningful logs, I'll post them here.
