So it seems that the problem is not that xorg doesn't set DESKTOP_SESSION correctly, it's that SDDM uses an absolute path for this instead of just the base name like every other window manager. I'll fix it in Ubuntu; meanwhile, a bug is filed upstream. Linked here. ** Also affects: sddm (Ubuntu)

DESKTOP_SESSION is created by the display manager. In particular, SDDM puts an absolute path in DESKTOP_SESSION, which seem to be quite distinct from what other managers are doing. I have opened https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/852 about that matter. However, the 60x11-common_xdg_path could
