[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#636131: lightdm: does not allow to choose 'Xclient script' session

[a.rottmann at gmx.at (Andreas Rottmann)]

Package: lightdm
Version: 0.9.2-2
Severity: normal

I run a custom session started by ~/.xsession.  On gdm, one can select
"run Xclient script" as the session to launch, which results in that
script being run. lightdm does not seem to offer this option, but
allows only to choose between sessions registered via .desktop files
in /usr/share/xsessions.  I'd very much appreciate lightdm supporting
~/.xsession scripts as well, as it is otherwise unsuitable for people
having customized their session that way.
