It comes to my mind a workaround for your case, you point out this only happends when you leave gdm sitting there without starting a session, wasting your ram anyway, so why don't you change your systemd defalut.target to just multiuser.target, configure gdm to auto-login your user, alias myxsession=sudo systemctl start gdm.service in your .bashrc, and add proper line for your user with NOPASSWD parameter for that on /etc/sudoers, I would do that if I didn't logged into a X session right away after boot. Its a shame it's going bad for you, I've actually had a good experience with the versatility of systemd these past months, and gnome has become a nice desktop in my opinion. > -- > Your life is like a penny.
