Hi Mantas. Do you have any knowledge of how GDM/gnome-session work? For instance, why a lock file is needed (?) and where the lock file is stored (?).
Creating a place-holder file under /tmp is not fool-proof, unless that is the same directory where the temporary lock file (or whatever file) is stored. The /tmp directory could have a partition mounted to it that is different from the partition where the lock file will need to be written.
I wouldn't bother reporting a another bug, against gnome-session, until it is determined, for certain, where the problem exists.
