Comment(by jdreed):
A sample implementation for our own "Login with customizations" session is
in /mit/jdreed/debathena/debathena-xsession/
debathena-nocalls.desktop goes in /usr/share/xsessions and debathena-
nocalls.xsession goes in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, preferably early in the
startup process (like 05debathena-nocalls).
The .desktop file simply runs a GNOME session, which is fine, since the
"Login without customizations" is intended to solve problems with people's
dotfiles.
I've tested it and it appears to work, and since it's a not a gnome
failsafe session, $XSESSION is set, so logout works.
