+ <p>This assumes the reader knows how to edit files as the root user and how
+ to navigate through the manual page. By the end of this page,
+ the reader will be able to create custom sessions with different
+ options.</p>
+ </comment>
+
+ <p>To create a custom session with different options, follow these steps:</p>
+
+<steps>
+ <item><p>Create a desktop file in the
+ <file>/usr/share/xsessions/new-session.desktop</file> file format. The content
+ of the desktop file should contain the following entries:</p>
+ <code>
+ [Desktop Entry]
+ Encoding=UTF-8
+ Type=Application
+ Name=Custom session
+ Comment=This is our custom session
+ <input>Exec</input>=gnome-session
+ </code>
+ </item>
+ <item><p>Type <cmd>man gnome-session</cmd> into the Terminal to display more
+ information on session options and
+ parameters that can be used with <code>Exec</code>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item><p>Save the custom session file that includes various parameters in
+ the <file>/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/new-session.session</file>
+ file.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Run the custom session by using the
+ <cmd>Exec=gnome-session --session=new-session</cmd> command.</p>
+ </item>
+</steps>
+
+<note style="note style">
+ <p>Note that after creating the session desktop file with the user
+ root, the new session will be available on the sessions list of the
+ GDM log-in screen.</p>
