Public bug reported: If I start a screen session and log out, the session persists. If I start a screen session and use my KVM to switch my main monitor to another computer, leaving this computer temporarily headless, my screen session gets destroyed. (This computer and the monitor both hook up to the KVM switch with DisplayPort.)
At least, that is some part of the condition for my screen session getting abruptly closed. Switching the KVM for a short period of time seems insufficient, but it has happened several times when I left my monitor switched to the other computer for longer periods. When my screen session gets destroyed, I also have to log back in to gdm, rather than just unlock my Wayland session. Please revert this steaming mess of dreck known as systemd.
