Since Julien asked me for further explanation of this problem, here we go:
gnome-session can run different type of sessions which you can specify
via the --session <foo> switch
That is e.g. used in /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-classic.desktop as
Exec=gnome-session --session classic
That is passed on by the login manager (in my case gdm3) to
/etc/X11/Xsession as "gnome-session --session classic"
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args fails to process that
additional command line arguments, specifically
STARTUP_FULL_PATH=$(/usr/bin/which "$1" || true)
"$1" contains "gnome-session --session classic", so "which" fails and
doesn't return /usr/bin/gnome-session. One needs to strip the additional
parameter, which the expression "${1%% *}" does.
Patch is from Didier Roche, see attachment.
