Dear Michael, thank you for taking the time to process my bug report.
Just as sidenote, when I try to start GDM3 I also set gdm3 as the default display manager. I also get 'Failed dependency: x-display-manager" messages (a lot) at startup from systemd. Now I am using xdm again. Kdm also works for me. Just GDM3 fails. But I would like to use GDM3 again because the login with GDM3 also unlocks my GNOME keyring.
