does xfce4-session support saving multiple sessions or not?

Does xfce4-session program support having multiple sessions to choose from on login for one user in the Sessions tab of Session and Startup?

On my system it doesn't and GPT tells me that is the case, but I'm not sure. This is clearly an interface for displaying multiple sessions, and not one.

So why can't I save the current session as something else than "Default" and each time a session is saved, it's an update of the "Default" and not a new entry?

Re: does xfce4-session support saving multiple sessions or not?

It looks like there may be a bug there. If I save the current session, and select the option to "Display chooser on login", and then log out and log in again, I will get the session chooser to display. I click the "+" to create a new session. Unfortunately, its not loaded and displayed until I log out and in one more time.

Unfortunately, the session choose does not display on a wayland login.

Somewhat relevant existing bug report: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/issues/184.
