Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
I have a running Gnome session. I want to open another session with the Xmonad window manager. I start gdmflexiserver and the login-screen appears. I change the session to Xmonad and put in my login details. The former desktop appears - nothing else happens. This happens every time, also with other window managers than Xmonad. if i choose Xmonad in the normal gdm login screen everthing works fine. Here the steps for reproducing it: 1. start system 2. login to the normal gnome session 3. open a terminal 4. write in: gdmflexiserver 5. choose a Xmonad session 6. put in the normal username and password 7. push enter - see for yourself - I expect that the Xmonad window manager is started in a second X-server. Instead the former Xsession reappears the other session is not opened. Maybe this is not the fault of gdm but something which is started after the login - I can't tell.
