Bug Description
The following command:
$/etc/X11/Xsession true
opens a dialog with the following error message:
"Xsession: unable to launch "true" X session --- "true" not found; falling back to default session."
There is a "Okay" button on this message, and clicking it does bad things if one happens to be running Ubuntu 22.04 on Xorg (or running Gnome on Xorg, which is seemingly a different option for the the low latency installation I am running: 5.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 12 10:30:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).
See Brendan O'Dea's related comment about this behavior on debian-bugs-dist: https://<email address hidden>
This has consequences in my use of xpra. For example, if I use xpra via the run_scaled-master script to magnify a single application's interface for a 4K display I get the error dialog mentioned above, often with resulting system instability.
This behavior cropped up last month.
