gnome-session needs a default session

[Kjell L.]

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Right now on natty if I want to start a session with another window manager I need to create a .session file on natty. This breaks with old configuration where per user you could set window manager, panel and file manager in ~/.xsession by setting the right gconf key or environment before launching gnome-session.

Suggestion to fix this is that when you start gnome-session without --session parameter it will respect your setting as before.
