I've done some tests and looks like you are wrong. :-) First, i see the behaviour reported in this bug on two PC, with many similarities: * i386 architecture * regularly updated Debian unstable * Xfce and Mate installed * lightdm-gtk-greeter On one of these PC (the one which this bug comes from), some days ago i've work arounded with: update-alternatives --display x-session-manager On the other i've done what you requested. First from snapshot.debian.org i've downloaded "lightdm_1.10.2-2_i386.deb" and "lightdm_1.10.2-3_i386.deb". Downgrading lightdm to 1.10.2-2 restore the previous behaviour and i've tested following these steps: * systemctl restart lightdm * login changing from default to mate session * logout * systemctl restart lightdm Now if i insert the same username and password in the loginbox, then go to session dropdown menu, i still see "mate". Upgrading to 1.10.2-3 and repeating the steps above, after the last restart of lightdm i see the default session restored. And in this situation here is my .dmrc after login with Mate: ---------------- [Desktop] Session=mate Language=it_IT.utf8 Layout=it ---------------- Note that if i simply logout (without rebooting or restarting lightdm), my choice is retained. Thank you for looking into this.
