Bug Description

According to the manpage[1], scripts are executable files located in XDG_DATA_DIR/session-migration/scripts.

When I look in ~/.local/share/ I don't see a session-migration/ directory but I do see several files:

session_migration-gnome
session_migration-gnome-classic
session_migration-gnome-fallback
session_migration-gnome-fallback-compiz
session_migration-gnome-flashback
session_migration-gnome-flashback-compiz
session_migration-(null)
session_migration-ubuntu
session_migration-ubuntu2

These files aren't marked as executable and aren't scripts. I guess those files indicate that the scripts have been run.

Recommendations
1. Store those files in their own directory so that the root XDG_DATA_DIR directory isn't cluttered with them.
2. Please update the manpage to explain what's going on here. I'm guessing that the script might be deleted after they are ran?

Also, the manpage doesn't give any information about how to write these scripts. Please at least include an example script in this manpage or the one for dh_migrations.
