Bug Description

This happens on Ubuntu Focal system installed from a latest daily image. Remmina that is preinstalled on Ubuntu ships with a gnome-session file (/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/remmina-gnome.session) that is displayed in the list of available sessions (see the attached screenshot) in GDM. Please, consider not shipping this file in the preinstalled remmina package. It is confusing for most users and not useful as it is intended for specialised kiosk usage.

I've just added a compile time option to enable/disable the installation of those files, so that we can provide a package to those users that needs the session files.
