I agree that something along these lines is needed.

However, these session types are currently unused.  SLiM is supposed to
support session choice from the log-in screen, but for that, a
‘session_dir’ key needs to be added to slim.cfg (in xorg.scm).

The ‘session_dir’ value should be the name of a directory containing
entries describing the various session types available, in a format that
SLiM understands.

Would you like to try adding that?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
