The gnome-session software bundle comprises the GNOME session manager along with multiple utilities for session management.
Installation of the package is relatively simple. The recommended process involves navigating to the directory containing the package's source code and running the configuration command by typing `./configure`. In case you are using an old version of System V, you might have to execute `sh ./configure` instead to prevent `csh` from trying to run `configure`.
Configuring the package takes a few moments and prints messages about the features under review. After this, the next step is to compile the package by typing `make`. If you wish to run any self-tests that come with the package, you can do so by executing `make check`.
After compiling the package, it is time to install it. This is achieved by typing `make install`. If you want to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, you can do so by typing `make clean`. In the event that you want to eliminate all files that `configure` generated so that you can compile the package for a different computer type, type `make distclean`.
Lastly, there is the `make maintainer-clean` target that mainly targets the package's developers. This command regenerates files that came with the distribution, hence requiring you to get other programs.
Overall, the gnome-session package is an excellent solution for anyone seeking a comprehensive session manager and related utilities, while its installation process is straightforward, even for individuals with minimal technical expertise.
