12 gnome-session-selector can be used from a xsession desktop file to
13 select a session before gnome-session is run. gnome-session reads and
14 stores its session in the "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/gnome-session/saved-ses‐
15 sion" directory. gnome-session-selector works by replacing the saved-
16 session directory by a symlink to another directory. Since the session
17 name is used as the directory name, it may not contain '/' characters
18 or begin with a '.'.

26 ing sessions or create a new one.
