The file is really absent. Event the directories that are supposed to contain this file are absent:

The failure message appears on every reboot, each time with a different file of the form /var/lib/gdm3/.config/mutter/sessions/<some arabic digits>.ms .
Absent session files in absent directories shouldn't get opened.  Any bugfix?  Any remedy?
Gratefully,
