[Robert Ancell <robert.ancell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fixed in LightDM 0.9.8 - if the default session or the session
configured for the user does not exist then the GTK greeter just selects
the first available session.

Bug description:
  Hey,

  there is no code right now for handling non-existing session. In
  Debian we set user-session=xfce by default, but some people might use
  it without Xfce installed. In that case, LightDM shows a blank item in
  the session menu. If the user logs in, it still tries to start the
  session, fails and goes back to the greeter.

  It's related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/818864 but not
  exactly the same thing.
