Bug Description

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/317

---

/etc/gdm3/Init/Default is not evaluated on my fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 (minimal).

I replaced this file by one with the following content to test it:

#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/a
touch /mnt/a

After a reboot, these files are not available.

When I use the same file for /etc/gdm3/PostLogin/Default, it works.

Sounds like it should work. The docs say:

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