Hi,

I'm using GDM on Fedora 25 and want to change the default graphical
session that is used. The "built in" default session is the "Gnome"
session, but I want the default session to be the "Gnome Xorg"
session.

I have added DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop and WaylandEnable=false
to the [daemon] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf as recommend here:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/96134/how-can-i-set-xorg-as-a-default-on-fedora-25/

I have also deleted all the contents of /var/lib/AccountsService/users
so that no per-user defaults cause problems.

Here is what happens. I boot up the computer, type in my username, hit
enter, and type in my password. Before I proceed, I check which
session is going to be used. "Gnome" is the one selected on the list.
I proceed anyway. After login, I see that Xorg is running, NOT
Xwayland.

I log out, and the go to log back in. I check the list again, and
"Gnome" is still selected. This time when I log in, Xwayland is
running. Huh? If I manually select the "Gnome Xorg" entry, I get what
I expect and my preference will be saved, but I want to set the
default for all users.

Am I doing something wrong or does this seem like a bug? If it is a
bug, I don't know which package it actually belongs to.

Thanks,
Laverne Schrock

P.S.

My graphics card:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)
