To reproduce this bug:

gdm generates a ~/.dmrc that remembers which session you chose last. edit this.

[Desktop]
Session=xfce

to Session=bogus

Now log in. The display manager says something like "Can't find bogus, using
failsafe. [Just log in] or [Log in and make default]". Of course 99% of the time
I want to [Log out and use the gdm session menu]. The option of 'which installed
session would you like to use' would be even more fantastic.

I don't have to edit ~/.dmrc by hand to generate this bug because I share my
home directory between distributions, but someone could also come across this by
uninstalling gnome or kde or something.
