      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The gdm login screen does not display an icon for my account. I can, however, log in successfully by clicking 'not listed' and then enter my user name and password. Only my own account is affected by this, all other users' icons are displayed as expected.

      What's weird is that, if I switch to a text console on a different VT and log in there, then switch back to gdm, an icon for my account is now displayed and I can use it to log in. The same is true if I log off from the console session before returning to the gdm login screen. However, after logging off from the gdm session, the login screen comes up again with my icon missing.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      gdm-40.1-21.el9
