<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para><command>gnome-session-selector</command> can be used from a
xsession desktop file to select a session before gnome-session is run.
gnome-session reads and stores its session in the
<filename><envar>$XDG_DATA_HOME</envar>/gnome-session/saved-session</filename>
directory. <command>gnome-session-selector</command> works by replacing
the saved-session directory by a symlink to another directory. Since the
session name is used as the directory name, it may not contain '/' characters
or begin with a '.'.
</para>
<para>
When a session name is specified, <command>gnome-session-selector</command>
will create a symlink to select this session.
</para>
<para>
When started without arguments, <command>gnome-session-selector</command>
will present a dialog that allows to choose one of the existing sessions
or create a new one.
