Public bug reported:
Trying to run i3 in Focal Fossa, login fails. The screen goes black
briefly, then returns to the login screen. I expect this is
reproducible by just installing `i3`, selecting it on the settings in
the login screen, and logging in.
I see the following in the log:
```
May 18 11:32:21 hopper /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[4733]:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start: line 5: /usr/bin/im-launch i3: No such
file or directory
```
Editing that file to just run `/usr/bin/im-launch i3` works fine. Is
this some kind of shell quoting issue, where it's trying to execve that
full string?
I believe this is in the `x11-common` package:
```
hopper ~ $ dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start
```
but Launchpad complains that such a thing does not exist. Perhaps I
misunderstand "package".
