No it doesn't. It starts only if I log in and only if I start typing
some command in the terminal after I've logged in.

If I wiggle the mouse for a while it just continues to hang. If I just
log in and don't type any command it doesn't start either. It's really
weird!

Here's what I've tried so far:

- I've added the "Debian-gdm" user to "video" group as well, thought it
might help, but it didn't.

- I updated the NVIDIA driver to both 384.130 and the newest 396-
version but neither of those helped.

- If I edit the "/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf"-file and comment out the
"#WaylandEnable=false"-line the NVIDIA driver does load (I can hear the
fans of my graphics card go silent) but then I get a completely blank
screen.
