Hi Maxim,

I think the issue is that the accessibility bus is not, uh, accessible.
In particular, the following line appears in GDM's greeter log:

(gnome-shell:767): dbind-WARNING **: 20:29:48.718: AT-SPI: Error
retrieving accessibility bus address:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was
not provided by any .service files

Note that the service itself is provided by at-spi2-core.  Perhaps we
should wire things up in gdm-service-type?

Cheers
