Thanks, your latest comment made me realize what the error message in
the bug description actually says.
But neither im-config nor x11-common (which provides
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start) does that kind of double quoting
AFAICT. The code appears not to be more complex than:
~$ sh
$ START="/usr/bin/apt --version"
$ exec $START
apt 2.0.2ubuntu0.1 (amd64)
~$
And it has worked for many cycles with the common default DMs such as
GDM, LightDM and SDDM. So the code should reasonably not be changed
without making sure it works everywhere.
Even if I finally understand the nature of the error message, it's not
clear to me how that error message gets triggered when using i3.

/usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails

Bug description:
Trying to run i3 in Focal Fossa, login fails. The screen goes black
briefly, then returns to the login screen. I expect this is
reproducible by just installing `i3`, selecting it on the settings in
the login screen, and logging in.
I see the following in the log:
```
May 18 11:32:21 hopper /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[4733]:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start: line 5: /usr/bin/im-launch i3: No such
file or directory
```
Editing that file to just run `/usr/bin/im-launch i3` works fine. Is
this some kind of shell quoting issue, where it's trying to execve
that full string?
I believe this is in the `x11-common` package:
```
hopper ~ $ dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
```
but Launchpad complains that such a thing does not exist. Perhaps I
misunderstand "package".
