Public bug reported:
When installing or deleting desktop environments, gdm3 doesn't update
the list of desktop environments when logging out. It requires a reboot
in order to show a change. Lightdm requires a simple logout in order to
update the list of desktop environments. This is an inconvenience and a
nuisance if this were to be default behavior.

Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)

3. I expected the list of desktop environments in gdm3 to update when logging
out.
4. I didn't get an updated list of desktop environments in gdm3 logging out but
instead after a reboot.
