+ Desktop files support a GDM specific key
+ "X-GDM-BypassXsession". If the key is not specified in a
+ desktop file, the value defaults to "false". If this key is
+ specified to be "true" in a desktop file, then GDM will
+ launch the program specified by the desktop file "Exec" key
+ directly when starting the user session. It will not run the program
+ via the <filename><etc>/gdm/Xsession</filename> script, which is
+ the normal behavior. Since bypassing the
+ <filename><etc>/gdm/Xsession</filename> script avoids setting up
+ the user session with the normal system and user settings, sessions
+ started this way can be useful for debugging problems in the system or
+ user scripts that might be preventing a user from being able to start
+ a session.
