Description Brad Smith 2004-12-16 12:01:53 EST

Description of problem:
Gnome's help seems to say that if you create multiple sessions under
Applications/Preferences/More Preferences/Sessions then gdm will
prompt you at login to select which one you would like to use.
However, this doesn't happen so either I've misunderstood or there is
a problem with gdm or the docs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.0.5-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a second session in the sessions preferences tool
2. Log out and log back in
  
Actual results:
Start in default session

Expected results:
According to the docs, should be prompted for which session to start
