It's contents should be something like this if you want to start gnome: --- export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- exec dbus-lanuch --exit-with-session \ gnome-session --session=${SESSION_NAME} --- Where ${SESSION_NAME} references to one of the files in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions, or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome- session/sessions , e.g. '--session=gnome', there's more info about this in the gnome-session(1), and startx(1) manuals.
I use it as a fall-back way to start an X session with awesome WM. when gnome isn't working(which hasn't happened in a long time), or I just don't want to use much RAM, because I need more than 2 VMS.
