Bug Description
When too many applications are running and RAM gets full, the OS evicts the most RAM intensive application and kills it. Since anything runs below GNOME in the process hierarchy, GNOME is selected and killed. When it restarts I am back at the login screen.
This is very annoying since all my work is gone. I guess it is a bug since the RAM intensive application itself should be killed and now my whole desktop environment.

For most people, having too many browser tabs or virtual machines open will be the trigger for this. But we should also discuss the correctness of killing the shell via systemd-oomd.
