Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

$HOME/.xsession is not sourced by /etc/X11/Xsession script. This is because the script /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup checks for the "allow-user-session" option from /etc/X11/Xsession.options, but the option name is "allow-user-xsession".

Hi agateau,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you're using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
