Package: gdm3 Version: 2.30.5-7 Severity: normal After changing the system wide variables x-window-manager and x-session-manager to use /usr/bin/xfwm4 and /usr/bin/xfce4-session(with update-alternatives) I have some problems with xfce4-session.
When logging in with the default session selected in gdm, the xfce session will not start. It seems gnome-settings-daemon is blocking it from starting correctly. I do get the xfce desktop environment loaded but the session bits are missing so configs won't work and gtk themes are not applied. This problem does not happen if I select Xfce session explicitly in gdm login screen. It seems gdm is not aware that it will start the system wide session manager and that the session manager is not gnome. To fix this gdm shouldn't let gnome-settings-daemon run after login when it's not starting gnome. If you need some more details about this please ask.
