Public bug reported: I have three accounts and I need all three to run on xorg instead of wayland.
For some reason, two of them consistently start wayland even when I select plain gnome from the gdm menu. To get xorg, I need to log out and log in a second time. A solution that is supposed to work consists in customizing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick- docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/). This solution does not work. I have also experimented with the following options: DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop and PreferredDisplayServer=xorg Neither appears to set xorg as the default... I have found the following bug reported upstream against gdm: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/733. It looks like this was fixed a year ago but my system is still affected. Note that I am using the gnome-session package. I doubt whether it makes any difference but I am adding it for the sake of completeness.
