GNOME to disable X11 session by default in version 49, plans full removal

The X11 session in GNOME will be disabled by default starting with version 49 and is scheduled for removal, likely in GNOME 50. This change specifically targets legacy X11/Xorg session support, leaving XWayland functionality unaffected. GDM retains compatibility for launching alternative X11 sessions, ensuring continued flexibility for users reliant on external X11 environments.

Preview snapshots of GNOME 49 alpha are available for testing.
