[SRU] 3.28.2

[Iain Lane]

[ Description ]

The second stable release in the 3.28 series.

[ QA ]

Log in, log out, log in again. Get your password wrong. Try different sessions. Lock the screen, try to swtich to a different user.

We have a GNOME SRU exception allowing us to assume that upstream's fixes are good, and they don't require explicit QA. Please test gdm as per the above smoke testing. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME)

(In this case there's bug #1766137 which will get explicitly tested.)

[ Regression potential ]

A bad GDM update will, at worst, mean that people can't log in graphically.

Verified that it is working for me.
Note, since the verification, I've since received a downstream patch on GDM3 from Pop!_Os repo's which also works.

    "blank" screen. (LP: #1766137)
