>Description:
If you install just gdm you see an entry for a GNOME session. But on the one hand GDM and GNOME are not tight to each other and on the other hand this shows an available session which is actually not available. This is because there is this dummy file in /usr/local/share/xessions named gnome.desktop .

>How-To-Repeat:
Install GDM only and look at available sessions. You will see a GNOME  session. Select it and try to log in. The session will fail because there is no gnome-session.
>Fix:
This file rather should be owned by the package that provides the gnome-session executable and/or makes a usable GNOME session available.So you then will only see a GNOME session if it is really available.
