I roughly understand this issue might be something to do with ubuntu-session package hard configuring the gdm login screen to use ubuntu.css?

Is this not a sub-effect / possible duplicate bug of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1715722 ?

Also see: https://github.com/pop-os/gtk-theme/issues/123

I did this very dodgy hack:

```
cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme
sudo mv ubuntu.css ubuntu.css.bak-dist_1804
sudo ln -s pop.css ubuntu.css
```

Note, I don't symlink `ubuntu.css` to `gdm3.css`, because this might cause circular referencing if the default theme was selected given this is how symlinks could stack:

/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css -> /etc/alternatives/gdm3.css -> /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css

Anyhow, the above is temp work-around, and I know that ubuntu.css will get clobbered next time the gnome-shell-common package updates, but so be it.
