Public bug reported:

I just upgraded 11.04 to 11.10.  The login manager gives me a cog, upon
which I click.  I see a list of shells.  KDE Plasma is among them.  I
select it and enter my password.  I get not KDE but Unity again.  No
errors, no offers to install the necessary software, just silent
flouting of my wish.

I've selected "KDE" at the login prompt and then re-clicked and sure
enough the indicator bullet is next to KDE.  So it's accepting my
clicks.
