Bug#965099: XWayland: Won't startup session with my specific GNOME configuration

[Adrian Immanuel Kiess <adrian@mx.aik.onl>]

Package: xwayland
Version: 2:1.20.8-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     Updated the system
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     apt -u dist-upgrade
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     GNOME does not start any longer with my own GNOME configuration. Using
GNOME on Xorg from the GDM3 login manager works fine, other account with not
much changed GNOME settings do work also
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     Running GNOME on Wayland

currently in Debian/testing I want to report the following problem/bug:

I have a good one year old GNOME configuration for my own user account I am
using on this system.

I can't login to XWayland using GNOME (on Wayland) using the GDM3 login
manager. After the password got accepted it loads services like tracker fine,
but then  halts and also the mouse pointer gets to an hold.

I can login to two other accounts to this system with GNOME on XWayland fine,
but those have a not much changed GNOME default configuration.

I can also login with that GNOME configuration of my own user account to GNOME
on Xorg fine.

I have no clue why it won't work, I tried to monitor the logs with journalctl
-f but I couldn't find anything suspicious.

Maybe you can try to login to GNOME on XWayland using an user account with used
and changed config files.

Yours sincereley,

Adrian Kieß
