Bug#319084: gdm: why not support private .xsession file

[Jung-hoon Han]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.8-1
Severity: wishlist

i want the gdm support private .xsession file.
for example, if I install java from outer site to my home,
I prefer to apply its JAVA_HOME path only normal account not Root!

but to apply the java or privately specified command from x-terminals,
it start from X base Path :(((((
