## Description

`budgie-session-selector` can be used from a xsession desktop file to select a session before budgie-session is run. budgie-session reads and stores its session in the ``$XDG_DATA_HOME`/budgie-session/saved-session` directory. `budgie-session-selector` works by replacing the saved-session directory by a symlink to another directory. Since the session name is used as the directory name, it may not contain '/' characters or begin with a '.'.

When a session name is specified, `budgie-session-selector` will create a symlink to select this session.

When started without arguments, `budgie-session-selector` will present a dialog that allows to choose one of the existing sessions or create a new one.
