[Solved] gdm-x-session segfault after update to gdm-3.16.0.1-1

After
updating to gdm-3.16.0.1-1, when starting a GNOME session with i3 as
window manager (using i3-gnome from the AUR) gdm-x-session crashes with
error:

$ dmesg
...
[   75.134600] gdm-x-session[642]: segfault at 38 ip 0000000000405ae9 sp
 00007ffc1aff1430 error 4 in gdm-x-session[400000+11000]

I am able to start all other sessions: GNOME shell, GNOME on Wayland,
only i3.

My system is up-to-date.

Could some one instruct me on how to further debug this error?

EDIT: It was easier to avoid i3-gnome completely and start gnome-setting-daemon from ~.i3/conf. I am still struggling with the keyring, but other than that everything else is working as intended.
