Well, the thing is: This change broke session management and therefore I
think it's fair to comment on this right here.

Serious question: Are you actually using lightdm yourself? I mean, it's
obviously completely broken. It doesn't even restore the settings on the
same machine these days anymore.

I have filed another bug report (#1069494) on this and I don't
understand why you ask me to discuss this on an ubuntu mailing list.
This is an upstream *bug* and therefore this belongs to the upstream bug
tracker.

We have the same problem in Debian as well, so it's not an issue of what
distribution is used.

Title:
  Replace ~/.dmrc with AccountsService

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  While gdm has switched to AccountsService for storing the session
  type, lightdm stores that piece of info in ~/.dmrc. I suppose it would
  be a good idea that also lightdm makes use of AccountsService for the
  purpose, and drops ~/.dmrc entirely. That way would always the same
  option appear on the greeter if a user moves from gdm to lightdm or
  vice versa.
