Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

I have a running Gnome session. I want to open another session with the
Xmonad window manager. I start gdmflexiserver and the login-screen
appears. I change the session to Xmonad and put in my login details. The
former desktop appears - nothing else happens. This happens every time,
also with other window managers than Xmonad. if i choose Xmonad in the
normal gdm login screen everthing works fine.

Here the steps for reproducing it:
1. start system
2. login to the normal gnome session
3. open a terminal
4. write in: gdmflexiserver
5. choose a Xmonad session
6. put in the normal username and password
7. push enter
- see for yourself -

I expect that the Xmonad window manager is started in a second X-server.
Instead the former Xsession reappears the other session is not opened.

Maybe this is not the fault of gdm but something which is started after
the login - I can't tell.

The usual:
