Well, I'm a software developer, so I started debugging the debugger.
The problem is caused by lines 2277-2283 in ddd.C, function pre_main_loop:

 #if XtSpecificationRelease >= 6
    // Synchronize SESSION_ID and APP_DATA.session
    if (session_id == 0)
        XtVaGetValues(toplevel, XtNsessionID, &session_id, XtPointer(0));
    if (session_id != 0)
        app_data.session = session_id;
 #endif


After executing the call to XtVaGetValues, the session_id is suddenly set to:

(gdb) print session_id
$20 = 0x40d410 "110a0a008b000111285601500000083400074"


So this is the session which is then being opened by ddd, and causing the 
problem.
Could it be that there is another application on my Gnome desktop using
a resource called "sessionID" (which is the value of XtNsessionID in the call
to XtVaGetValues) ?

I'm not really good in this X stuff, so could anybody give me some pointers
on how to solve this, besides just removing the lines 2277-2283?

Thanks,
