It seems to me that we have a classic situation of two bugs conspiring
to ruin our day.
1. For some strange reason glib decides not to tell people about EACCES
when they ask for information about a file/directory
2. gnome-shell thinks that just because glib provides it information
about a directorty (from an lstat) it can read that directory.
We can tickle the second bug by doing something as simple as:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/modes
# chmod -rx /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/modes
Bam! next time gdm3 is started no greeter is displayed.
