Another issue I noticed: gdm3 uses /etc/gdm3/Xsession sddm uses /etc/sddm/Xsession lightdm uses /etc/X11/Xsession
to start this special default session.
I wonder if there would be potential for unification (i.e. all affected display managers using the Xsession script from x11-common) or does someone know why it could be beneficial to keep separate Xsession scripts per display manager?
I can only speak for the sddm's Xsession which is a wrapper arround Debian's /etc/X11/Xsession, what it does is to try to set the corresponding shell environment by loading the user profile files.
For example the bash part reads:
[ -z "$BASH" ] && exec $SHELL $0 "$@"
set +o posix
[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
if [ -f $HOME/.bash_profile ]; then
. $HOME/.bash_profile
elif [ -f $HOME/.bash_login ]; then
. $HOME/.bash_login
elif [ -f $HOME/.profile ]; then
. $HOME/.profile
fi
The sourced profiles take care of things like adding /usr/games to the PATH,
which was loudly asked by our users when the wrapper wasn't present.
