Since the session name is used as the directory name, it may not contain '/' characters or begin with a '.'. When a session name is specified, gnome-session-selector will create a symlink to select this session. When started without arguments, gnome-session-selector will present a dialog that allows to choose one of the existing sessions or create a new one. gnome-session1
