I'm looking at the "first login gives the wrong session" bug. I can
reproduce in a VM that it says "Ubuntu" but you get "Ubuntu on X" (or
whatever the exact name is).
In this case GDM is using the "fallback" (default) session. It is set to
ubuntu-xorg despite ubuntu being valid, being the first in the list and
being selected in the UI. I think there might be a difference in sorting
between the UI's presentation of sessions and the selection of fallback
sessions - that's what I'm about to start investigating.

Bug description:
Test case:
Do a fresh install of current image (july 19 here
Boot up, check selected session at the greeter - it will say "ubuntu"
Log in, ck. env., it will actually be ubuntu-wayland
Ex.
$ env | grep -i wayland
DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu-wayland
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu-wayland
GDMSESSION=ubuntu-wayland
Test 2:
From above log out, switch session in greeter to wayland on ubuntu,, switch
back to ubuntu, login.
Now you'll be in an ubuntu session
Test 3:
log out from above ubuntu session, log into ubuntu-wayland session, reboot.
At greeter notice it says "ubuntu" selected.
Login, ck. session. You'll actually be in an ubuntu-wayland session
