So from testing the 2009-07-24 image, it's undefined which session gets
booted into.  I've sometimes gotten mythbuntu.desktop picked, other
times xterm.desktop and other times xfce.desktop.

So the only workaround that I can see with the current package is to
ship gnome.desktop in mythbuntu-default-settings and divert
gnome.desktop if it's already on the system.

I think the best solution is to have gdm look for something like 
"default.desktop" that's provided by the alternatives system and defaults to 
gnome.desktop but that xfce, mythbuntu and others can register with.  This 
prevents having to put the information in custom.conf, but still lets 
derivatives pick their session defaults.
