Description: Use a wrapper script to start GNOME classic session Xsession currently doesn't allow to pass more then one argument, as it otherwise fails with Xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session --session classic" X session --- "gnome-session --session classic" not found; falling back to default session. . This is due to [1]. Add a wrapper script to start the GNOME classic session as a workaround. Once [1] is fixed, this should be removed again. .
