+Subject: [PATCH] Workaround missing sessions
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The current approach is wrong in many ways:
+
+* In case a session file does not set TryExec it is kept enabled accidentlty
+* Session files with TryExec without full path are ignored. Problem here: sddm
+  tries to find executables based on PATH environment. Problem at least for my
+  environment: There is no PATH variable set by systemd. So for session files
+  without path: Do not perform further checks / just trust for now.
