Bug Description
In Ubuntu 17.10 and 17.04, Gnome session has stopped working with the X11 mode for me. Selecting "Ubuntu on X" in GDM logs me in to a black screen with the cursor. If I have an app configured to auto start, the app launches without any window decorations. Clicking the app through File > Quit menu turns the cursor in a black cross.
