Public bug reported:

The following command:

$/etc/X11/Xsession true

opens a dialog with the following error message:

"Xsession: unable to launch "true" X session --- "true" not found;
falling back to default session."

There is a "Okay" button on this message, and clicking it does bad
things if one happens to be running Ubuntu 22.04 on Xorg (or running
Gnome on Xorg, which is seemingly a different option for the the low
latency installation I am running: 5.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue
Jul 12 10:30:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

See Brendan O'Dea's related comment about this behavior on debian-bugs-
dist: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-
d...@lists.debian.org/msg1857023.html

This has consequences in my use of xpra. For example, if I use xpra via
the run_scaled-master script to magnify a single application's interface
for a 4K display I get the error dialog mentioned above, often with
resulting system instability.

This behavior cropped up last month.
