Extra info:
1.The syslog at a crash shows next error. Probably memory management at an
errormemssage is not correct. Also look at the size 2560 x 1024
Sep 08 00:18:35 Gert2 gnome-shell[2141]: CoglError set over the top of a
previous CoglError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's
code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was:
Sliced texture size of 2560 x 1024 not possible with max waste set to -1
Sep 08 00:18:35 Gert2 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2141]: double free or corruption
(fasttop)
Sep 08 00:18:35 Gert2 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2141]: GNOME Shell crashed with
signal 6
2.It looks like the problem in an older problem. At least at Ubuntu 18.04 with
display manager lightdm the same crash occurs if no monitors.xml is present and
dual monitor is present.
3.It looks like the problem is caused by the different sizes of the monitors.
At startup gdm3 detects next sizes for laptop-monitor and external monitor:
Sep 9 20:22:54 Gert2 /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1915]: (--) intel(0): Output
LVDS1 using initial mode 1280x800 on pipe 1
Sep 9 20:22:54 Gert2 /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1915]: (--) intel(0): Output
VGA1 using initial mode 1280x1024 on pipe 0
If at logon there is no monitors.xml file for the user, gdm3 by default
tries to configure the external VGA1-monitor at the right of the laptop
LVDS1-monitor. This fails, probably because the vertical size 800 of
LVDS1 is smaller than 1024 for VGA1. gdm3 retries, which is causing a
loop until VDA1-monitor is disconnected (see next log):

normal, reflection none
4.If monitors.xml is present with configuration of VGA1 above LVDS1,
dual monitors can be used. Also in this case it is not possible to
graphically configure via the displays arrangement the configuration
with above sizes and VGA1 right of LVDS1.
5. A correct monitors.xml-file does not totally solve the problem.
Frequently the start if Ubuntu hangs completely before showing the
logon-screen. It is showing a character screen with next last line.
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.
Syslog gives next lines then:

6. If at the logon-screen the arrow at upper right corner is clicked (to
exit), also the system hangs with character-screen and same kind of
error at syslog.
