Gnome defaults to wayland; how can I go to back to X11?

In gdm, you should have a little gear bellow the field you are entering your password. There you should be able to select the X11 session

    I updated Gnome to the newest version and I realized that wayland has been installed as the default window manager. I have many problems with it, so how do I go to back to X11?

    I'm using Arch.

    //EDIT

    Problem solved. I just delete old x11 config and create new one :)

    echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE returns X11 :)
