[Description]
If PAM session fails to initialize completely, the session aborts as expected but GDM stays on VT1 and switches to a black screen.

[Test Plan]
1. In /etc/pam.d/gdm-password insert the line:
    session requisite pam_deny.so
After the line
    @include common-account
2. Login from GDM
3. Verify that:
  - The session fails to start
  - A black TTY is displayed
  - Active TTY is 1
4. Apply the patched version
5. Login from GDM
6. Verify the login fails but GDM is still displayed and an error message in printed under the password box.

[Where problem could occur]
* Cannot login at all with any user.
