Public bug reported:
In contrast to GDM LightDM ignores the choosen session to start for a user
account and even does forget a users choosen session after a restart/reboot.
I am using a winbind user account (from nsswitch), a non local one.
The first time the user can not be selected from the menu, you have to choose
other and enter the username.
After pressing enter i switch my session from Ubuntu to LXDE and enter my
password.
I would expect LXDE is started, however Ubuntu default Session is loaded.
I have to logout. I can choose now my user from the list (lightdm did remember
the account now) and now i have to switch from Ubuntu to LXDE again.
After entering password and login second time LXDE does load.
After a reboot a have to do the procedure from above again.
GDM did not show this Session bug, i can enter any username i want and choose a
session an its working the first time.
Expected behaviour is, after choosing a username and changing the
session, that this session is loaded.
