I agree that something along these lines is needed.

However, these session types are currently unused.  SLiM is supposed to
support session choice from the log-in screen, but for that, a
=E2=80=98session_dir=E2=80=99 key needs to be added to slim.cfg (in xorg.sc=
m).

The =E2=80=98session_dir=E2=80=99 value should be the name of a directory c=
ontaining
entries describing the various session types available, in a format that
SLiM understands.

Would you like to try adding that?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
