I could not reproduce with kinetic (see my steps in bug 2016193). I went
back to a clean jammy install, reproduced, then upgraded just the gdm3
packages to kinetic's versions, and the problem went away, so it seems
gdm3 in isolation is the relevant difference. I took a look at the
differences between the jammy and kinetic gdm3 source, and there really
isn't that much different. One piece that stood out is the following,
which appears to be a typo:
diff -urpN gdm3-42.0/daemon/gdm-local-display-factory.c
gdm3-43.0/daemon/gdm-local-display-factory.c

On a lark, I rebuilt the jammy version of gdm3 to use "supported-
session-types" here, and that seems to have fixed the problem for me. I
can reliable downgrade to the jammy version of gdm3 and reproduce, and
reliably *not* reproduce the bug after installing my patched version.

Title:
systemd refuses to start secondary Xorg logins
[[email protected]: Skipped due to 'exec-condition'.]

Bug 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.
