1) xserver-xgl is not mandatory
So if you have fglrx but no xgl, you can never log on
2) xorg fglrx can be loaded but not dri, for examples if something is wrong with linux-restricted
So Xgl is started on mesa, which is really slow...

Expeted behaviour in my point of view
1) you should definitively be able to choose to start XGL at GDM.
2) never start XGL if mesa is used with no Direct rendering

A better solution than to remove /etc/X11/Xsession.d/00xserver-xgl_start-server is to edit this file: add your xorg driver to the XGL_BLACKLIST
