Dear Maintainer,

in multiseat setups, gdm3 is limited to only support Wayland sessions on seat0.

There are patches for gdm3 and gnome-shell to enable Wayland sessions for all
seats in a multiseat environment. I use these patches on top of the current
Debian sid packages for some months now without any glitches. I also tested
fast user-switching as requested by the author of these patches.

The original source of the patches is here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/merge_requests/174/commits

I'll open a separate bug for the gnome-shell part of this issue.

Regards,
Tino

As far as I can tell, this was integrated upstream in the 45~beta release,
available in Debian testing/unstable.

Hi,

the gdm3 part was merged. The gnome-shell part is still pending.

Should I open a seperate bug for gnome-shell?
