With a fresh install of Kodi on two systems running Gnome, Kodi is shown as two options in GDM (in the cog wheel drop down), both seemingly doing the exact same thing. I believe one of these options is redundant and should be removed.
This task depends upon

xbmc.desktop is linked to kodi.desktop, I assume for compatibility. If you remove this link (/usr/share/xsessions/xbmc.desktop), does it fix the issue?

yes, removing that file fixed the redundancy. Also, sorry for the typo in the bug title, feel free to change that to "two" instead of "wo" if you need to lol.

Since it's kodi's build system that's making that symlink (not Arch's PKGBUILD), I would complain to them. Better to get things fixed upstream if possible.

Will do. I'll file the report upstream.
