Another way to reproduce this bug is as follows:

1. Boot a daily live CD image.
2. At the try/install unity screen, switch to a console.
3. Run the following command to change the live session user's session from unity to unity-2d:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply
--dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User999
org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXSession string:ubuntu-2d

You may need to run that command twice, as the first time may error out,
due to the account service daemon not being running and ready to receive
that method call yet.

4. Switch back to the GUI.
5. Click try Ubuntu.

You should get unity-2d loaded instead of unity 3D, however unity 3D
gets loaded, dispite the individual user session set in accountsservice.
