I will do this.
Sorry for my curiosity but:
1. Will any new users lose the feature to parameter their (GNOME)
session on a first togin? or this is another tool?
2. Is there a "root" process to kill before? Or removing the package
and then restarting gdm service will do nicely the job?
And then,  maybe, reinstall it for my point 1. for any new user? ;-)

Many thanks for your consideration

ps: this feature is running a lot of GNOME session services, all are expected?
