/var/log/gdm greeter log file.

I'm running 11.2 x64 with a Nvidia 1050 Ti graphics card, and have my own
Poudriere cluster.  For the most part, this has worked very well, I have been
running this basic setup for years without an issue save one issue with a
particular issue of the Nvidia driver.  As of 9/30, with the nvidia driver
installed, gdm no longer launches gnome3 as apparently the ghome shell does not
launch because of Clutter failing to intialize.  I've enclosed a copy of the
gdm greeter log file.

I am not sure exactly what change triggered the issue, x11/nvidia-driver and a
bunch of other, I think Gnome3, ports changed around the same time.

I've switched to 'mate' using 'slim' to launch it as a workaround for now, and
this seems to work fine.
