Xsessions are not starting properly

#15 #92

I have two sessions in /usr/share/xsessions, and for example dwm's one says Exec=dwm. In tuigreet I have these two sessions listed but they don't work, because Xorg is not started before them.

Currently I'm manually changing cmd to startx which is starting Xorg and then dk window manager. Variables like XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP are not set.

I realize I can create wrapper scripts for this purpose, but they seem like a dirty hack to me.

Quoting @xukai92 from issue #15:

The annoying thing is that those X sessions that doesn't work would still be listed by tuigreet. I really want to make everything listed work fine. Could I make tuigreet somehow handle X sessions and wayland sessions differently?
