Bug#721388: gdm3 no longer starts the default session

Control: retitle -1 gdm3: anyone can change the user's next session in a more-or-less hidden way

I've found the problem: someone has apparently changed my next session
while I wasn't here. This is some kind of security problem: someone
has more rights that he should have.

And if one never changes the session, one doesn't look at the
information, so that one doesn't necessarily know what the problem
is, and something just looks wrong with the machine (in my case,
without looking at log files, it just seemed that fvwm couldn't
read my config file).
