Dear Maintainer,

the file "/etc/gdm3/Init/Default" does not merge in X11 app defaults:
- it checks if "/etc/X11/Xresources" is a plain file.
- but "/etc/X11/Xresources" is a directory (of package "x11-common", which is required by package "gdm3").
- therefore the files in this directory are ignored an not read by "xrdb -merge".

Dear Maintainer,

here's a patch that should fix the bug:


diff --git a/etc/gdm3/Init/Default b/etc/gdm3/Init/Default

index a8e6993..b50a234 100755
--- a/etc/gdm3/Init/Default

However, gdm3 seems to ignore the file „/etc/gdm3/Init/Default“ in
contrary to „GDM3.8(1)“:

/When managing a display, gdm3 attempts to execute
/etc/gdm3/Init/display, or /etc/gdm3/Init/Default if that does not exist./

„/etc/gdm3/Init/display“ does not exist, therefore
„/etc/gdm3/Init/Default“ should be run. But this file is not run when I
manually restart the service „gdm3“./
