Call Xsession <session name> when selecting a custom session instead of calling it directly

[Stéphane Graber]

Binary package hint: ldm

In current LDM (Intrepid), when using LDM_SESSION to use an alternate desktop manager, this one is started directly and not through Xsession.
We'd need a different lts.conf variable to specify the session we want to start.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

This bug has been fixed upstream in revision 911.
LDM now uses LDM_SESSION to set the session script to use (/etc/X11/Xsession by default) and LDM_XSESSION to specify the desktop manager.

This bug was fixed in the package ldm - 2:2.0.13-0ubuntu1
