Sorry but I don’t buy this. Mere users don’t configure the --choose-session option by hand. This feature never worked properly to begin with.

There is no such script. If you can provide one, we could patch gnome-session so that it is executed at the upgrade time, but be warned that it won’t be trivial to write, since the new format requires more information than the old one used to.
