Package: gdm Version: 2.20.10-1 Severity: normal
GDM is not picking up xsessions that are stored in /var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions. It appears this was removed in Debian bug #464179. Is there some Debian policy that specifies where xsessions should be registered? Otherwise this seems like a bit of a hack. At least one window manager (ratpoison) uses the menu-xdg system to register itself. Please see Debian bug #563959.
