This is so idiotic. First running ~/.xsession gets bork in lucid since
.desktop files seems to be a better solution. Now you remove the
.desktop file since  99% other people do not know what the special entry
is. Perhaps revert back to how it was before like if you have
~/.xsession file then then run it? It is a very inconvenient if every
time a user that uses xsession upgrade you have to recreate a file in
/usr/share/xsession

Title:
  add support for an “Xclient” fallback session

Bug description:
  Hey,

  a Debian user reported a bug asking for support of a “Xclient” session
  similar to GDM. Basically it doesn't require a .desktop file
  specifying the session, but directly runs what's in .xsession.

  Another way might be to add a “Default session” entry which would let
  the Xsession wrapper do the job. In Debian, we set it to
  /etc/X11/Xsession which will fall back to that file.
