Comment #16 has a clear answer to this bug. Upstream seems unwilling or
uninterested in fixing this as they believe this deserves to be solved
by distributions. That means Ubuntu needs to address this. Luckily, all
we need to ship a four line desktop. Let's do this and close this bug.

Creating a custom logon session at the login prompt does not help my situation.
Before when a specific user logged in the .xsession file would run and
startup firefox. That specific user was only able to run firefox. No
windowmanager or anything else. When they close Firefox it would end
Creating ~/.xprofile as per comment #18 did not make the GNOME session
execute the window manager I have in ~/.xsession, as it used to do
before this bug happened.

I've got an alternative explanation for what's going wrong here. The
default GNOME session runs gnome-session and this in turn runs
/etc/gdm/Xsession as mentioned in comment #14. As pointed out there,
/etc/gdm/Xsession runs through the session scripts in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d. This includes
The .desktop file can also be put into /etc/X11/sessions/ (you probably
have to create the directory first). That's a bit better than changing
in /usr/share. C.f.

From: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8190534
Add a file named Xsessions.desktop to /usr/share/Xsessions with the
contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xsession
Comment=This runs ~/.xsession
Exec=/etc/X11/Xsession

There is still a small problem with this solution:
/etc/gdm/Xsession will source the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ and then the
file 99x11-common_start will launch
/etc/X11/Xsession, which will source the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ again.
In particular there will be two ssh-agents and two
I'm also bitten by this bug - after an upgrade to Karmic the ~/.xsession
script isn't read anymore and my htpc user is auto-logged in straight
into GNOME.
Tried to make files in /usr/share/xsessions that launched
/etc/gdm/Xsession (or /etc/gdm/Xsession custom) and also updated my
~/.dmrc to refer
Edward's solution works great

They are kidding, aren't they? .xession or .xsessionrc files are in
existence and well documented for some 20 years and now they want
distros to craft their own flavour? Sligthly different for each distro?

Traumflug: No. The .desktop file is what may vary from system to system.
This means that the name of the option in your display manager may be
different, however, the basic behaviour should be invariant. That is,
.xsession and .xinitrc should work the same as they always have, it's
just that the
I've tried the suggested fix in /usr/share/xsession but haven't been
able to get it to work. Can someone else verify?

GDM calls this a non issue, and says that it's up to the distributions
to include a specially crafted .desktop file in /usr/share/Xsessions
that runs the system xsession script.
