I have received more explanations from Ryan Lortie, and it might not be
as simple as ?a bug in the X server?; although the problem probably lies
in the interaction between the Xsettings manager and the X server, it
might not be possible to actually fix it on the X side (which would mean
the Xsettings specification has a design flaw).
IMHO more testing is required before involving X people. You might want
to reassign this to gdm3 in the meantime, since although this is not a
bug in gdm3, it is the package that exhibits it.
