What Could Go Wrong

gnome-session is the session manager for the GNOME desktop, included by default in Ubuntu Desktop and Edubuntu.

If there are bugs in gnome-session, in the worst case the user may be unable to log-in graphically.

gnome-session is part of GNOME Core and is included in the GNOME micro release exception
