Same problem here.
As a side-note: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf still had "gnome-shell" as
default session, but there's no /usr/share/xsession/gnome-shell.desktop.
The file has been renamed to gnome.desktop. However, fixing the wrong
entry in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf had no effect on this bug. I'm just
adding this note, because I suppose that there are more old/wrong
references to gnome-shell that might cause this bug...

Title:
Unable to select other installed desktop environments when logging in.
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am using lightdm 1.3.3-0ubuntu4, in Ubuntu 12.10. I installed gnome-
shell 3.5.92-0ubuntu1.
Gnome, Gnome Classic and Gnome Classic (No Effects) show up as
selectable in lightdm as expected, along with Unity. However, Gnome
Shell and Gnome Classic can not be selected. Clicking on them results
in no response.
EDIT: I tried to see if the problem was the same with other desktop
environments. It is possible to install and select xubuntu-desktop and
use it properly. The buttons for selecting KDE and LXDE in lightDM
respond visually to a click, unlike for Gnome Shell/Gnome Classic, but
clicking on them does not result on them being selected.
