Fix startup of GNOME under GDM

Pablo Correa Gomez requested to merge pabloyoyoista/aports:fix-gnome into master

Includes two important commits:

  • community/gnome-shell: do not set cap_sys_nice: The way the current gnome installation works, setting cap_sys_nice for gnome-shell makes it crash at startup. The reason is that gnome-shell creates a dbus session on startup, which is only successful if the process does not need to be treated securely (through getauxval(AT_SECURE)). In consequence, setting some capability in the binary, which is run under unprivileged gdm user, makes it impossible to start the session.
  • community/gnome-session: depends on mesa for opengl acceleration: gnome-session requires either hardware of software acceleration for opengl or opengles, otherwise it will reject to start
