Bug#973485: gdm3 starts gnome instead of .xsession even when "Default X11 session" is selected

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.38.1-2
Severity: grave

gdm3 does not start my ~/.xsession anymore but boots gnome instead.

Sorry if that bug was already reported, but no way I'm going to read
through the 300 (!) open gdm3 bugs. Please do some BTS house keeping.
