The Gnome Desktop Manager (GDM) used to present a button (Session)
that was visible on the login screen. With F11 the button is now
hidden until a user name is clicked. Click a user name or "other" and
a desktop configuration menu should appear at the bottom of the
screen. Clicking on the "Gnome" portion of "Sessions: Gnome" should
present a pop-up list of the installed desktops.

By the way, the new configuration menu is poorly implemented.
"Language", "Keyboard", and "Sessions:" are all scrunched up on the
800x600 default setting of my display. Some things don't get better
with time. Please go back to the old GDM look and feel of F8.
