Sebastien, Timo,

at this point I'm unsure how things should behave. With Timo's patch, an user who creates an ~/.xsession file would always get that, and the chosen session in gdm would be ignored (this would make bug 398300 obsolete).

OTOH, with a separate "user session" as proposed in bug 398300 gdm's session chooser would continue to work (this is also the approach upstream recommends).

So perhaps we should confine this bug to setting {SYS,USR}RESOURCES and strip down the patch for those two, and add a separate "user-defined session" .desktop file as in bug 398300?
