+GDM automatically looks for session types described by the @file{.desktop}
+files in @file{/run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions} and allows users
+to choose a session from the log-in screen using @kbd{F1}. Packages such as
+@var{xfce}, @var{sawfish}, and @var{ratpoison} provide @file{.desktop} files;
+adding them to the system-wide set of packages automatically makes them
+available at the log-in screen.
+
+In addition, @file{~/.xsession} files are honored. When available,
+@file{~/.xsession} must be an executable that starts a window manager
+and/or other X clients.
+
+When @var{allow-empty-passwords?} is true, allow logins with an empty
+password."
