** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
  Switching to a second user falls back to Wayland even when Xorg was
  explicitly selected.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
- 1. Create multiple accounts.
- 
- 2. Log in to user1 using a Xorg session. Don't log out.
- 
- 3. Log in to user2 using a Xorg session.
- 
- Verify you are in a Xorg session and not Wayland.
+ TBC by affected users.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  Any part of the login procedure as that is what is being modified.
  
  [ Original Description ]
  
  I have three accounts and I need all three to run on xorg instead of
  wayland.
  
  For some reason, when switching accounts, two of them consistently start
  wayland even when I select plain gnome from the gdm menu. To get xorg, I
  need to log out and log in a second time.
  
  A solution that is supposed to work consists in customizing
  /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (see  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-
  docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/). This solution does not
  work.
  
  I have also experimented with the following options:
  DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop
  and
  PreferredDisplayServer=xorg
  Neither appears to set xorg as the default...
  
  I have found the following bug reported upstream against gdm:
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/733.
  It looks like this was fixed a year ago but my system is still affected.
  
  Note that I am using the gnome-session package. I doubt whether it makes
  any difference but I am adding it for the sake of completeness.
