NAME
       gnome-session-selector - Selects a session to use with gnome-session

SYNOPSIS
       gnome-session-selector [session]

DESCRIPTION
       gnome-session-selector can be used from a xsession desktop file to
       select a session before gnome-session is run. gnome-session reads and
       stores its session in the $XDG_DATA_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session
       directory.  gnome-session-selector works by replacing the saved-session
       directory by a symlink to another directory. Since the session name is
       used as the directory name, it may not contain '/' characters or begin
       with a '.'.

       When a session name is specified, gnome-session-selector will create a
       symlink to select this session.

       When started without arguments, gnome-session-selector will present a
       dialog that allows to choose one of the existing sessions or create a
       new one.
