Creating a custom logon session at the login prompt does not help my situation. 
  Before when a specific user logged in the .xsession file would run and 
startup firefox.   That specific user was only able to run firefox.  No 
windowmanager or anything else.  When they close Firefox it would end the 
session 
the user's .xsession file was very simple. 
---------------
 #!/bin/bash
exec firefox
-------------

Creating a session desktop entry at the login prompt allows the user to
bypass the ability to restrict the user to a specific application.  All
they have to do is change the session type on the login window to gnome
or whatever and login to get a full desktop bypassing their .xsession
file.  This is shortsighted IMO on the part of the Gnome devs.  It was
simple now they have made this complicated if not impossible to do now.

Is there a way to run just one application when a specific user logs in
the log them out when they close that app?
