However, I do not know why.
You can remove the transitional package gnome-session-fallback.
I do now see that gnome-session-fallback is just a transitional package and can be safely removed. I'll do that. Thanks.

You're welcome to file a bug. It might be possible to use Debian's alternative system to handle this use case.
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ cat /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback.session
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME Flashback (No effects)
RequiredComponents=gnome-panel;gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-screensaver;metacity;
This is going to sound kind of lame but, I don't know how to file a bug or use Debian's alternative system. All I have ever done is add my name to an already existing bug that also affects me.
Can I just edit that file and remove "gnome-screensaver"? Is that the fix so that I can uninstall it and have xscreensaver work at startup?
I guess this one too:
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions$ cat /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback-compiz.session
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME Flashback
RequiredComponents=gnome-panel;gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-screensaver;compiz;
