+- Move %{_datadir}/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.login-screen.gschema.xml
+  from main package to new gdm-schema split package and make libgdm1 depend
+  on the new gdm-schema split package. Currently, the gdm-schema is required for
+  gnome-shell to work, but gnome-shell only depends on libgdm1 and not
+  on gdm as a whole, causing a crash of gnome-shell if the gdm main package
+  is not installed. By moving the gdm-schema to it's own split package and making
+  libgdm1 actually require it, the crash can be prevented.
