/usr/share/xsessions is the new common way of storing X11 sessions. It is supported by most of the new DMs, and it would be great if our chooser.sh supported it as well -- so that xdm would support it too.

I can provide a patch if there is interest in that.

The patch also takes care of the case that XSESSION contains spaces (a command with arguments).
I made my best to write it in a posix complaint way, but since I'm not expert on this, some command may need a fix.

can this move forward as is?
