xps:/etc/X11/wmsession.d# ll
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 2011.06.08 11:00 02GNOME
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116 2011.03.25 00:36 06Xfce
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 2011.06.08 11:31 11GNOME3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118 2011.02.07 22:12 29drak3d
xps:/etc/X11/wmsession.d# rpm -qf *
gnome-session-3.0.1-1.mga2   <=====================
xfce-utils-4.8.1-5.mga1
gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.mga2
drak3d-1.30-1.mga1

But, if you look at it:

xps:/etc/X11/wmsession.d# cat 11*
NAME=GNOME 3
ICON=gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png
DESC=GNOME Environment
EXEC=/usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-session
SCRIPT:
exec /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-session
xps:/etc/X11/wmsession.d# cat /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-session
#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to start a GNOME session in a GNOME 3 preview mode.
#

if test -n "$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS"; then
    export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/share/gnome-shell/xdg-override:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
else
    export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/share/gnome-shell/xdg-override:/etc/xdg
fi

exec /usr/bin/startgnome $*

It looks like the session file in gnome-shell-3.0.2 is just for testing,
the good one seems to be that in gnome-session (INMHO...).
Probably you need to kill 11GNOME, and in a future if we have it add a
"GNOME2" or "GNOME Simple" or the like...
