Comment 1 Ondrej Holy 2015-03-31 09:30:57 UTC 
Hey, thanks for the bug report.

"Session Started" is detected by the wtmp entry from gdm with $DISPLAY string, but it seems this entry is missing, probably thanks to the port to the wayland...
Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2015-04-01 12:00:52 UTC 
I still see the code to write such messages in gdm, just it was moved to the different file, thus I pretend this is bug in gdm.

I used to see something like that for one session:
oholy    pts/0        :0               Sun Mar 22 22:39 - 22:50  (00:10)
oholy    :0           :0               Sun Mar 22 22:38 - 22:50  (00:11)
reboot   system boot  3.18.8-201.fc21. Sun Mar 22 22:37 - 22:50  (00:12)

But now I see:
oholy    pts/0        :1               Tue Mar 31 09:56 - 10:51  (00:54)
reboot   system boot  4.0.0-0.rc5.git2 Tue Mar 31 09:53 - 10:51  (00:58)

There is missing following line to determine "Session Started":
oholy    :1           :1               Tue Mar 31 09:56 - 10:51  (00:54)
Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 13:17:32 UTC 
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
