Err, actually, I missed something here.  You say you're running Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.2 LTS with Gnome 3 and GDM.  However, that version/bundle ships with Unity and LightDM.  I'm not saying it won't work but just trying to get clarity on your setup and letting you know you may be deviating from the "easy" path.
