While sorting this problem out, I noticed that /etc/gdm/Sessions/Xfce4 contains the following: #!/bin/sh exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session What's the practical difference between running /usr/bin/xfce4-session and exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session ? Also, for the more complicated scripts (e.g., /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome), should I just use Exec=/etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome in gnome.desktop?
