As I said, this is all from a live session and without much modification
apart from a few added packages such as gnome-shell, ccsm, etc. The
daily build is from January 17th, so it is definitely up to date.

When I log out from the desktop, I am presented with a login screen with
a field that says "Username" to the left (it also says "Ubuntu 11.10 on
the bottom left). I type the live session's username (simply "ubuntu")
and leave the password field blank. Since it's a live session I have not
added any user accounts.

Title:
  Selecting other session in login screen doesn't do anything

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I think this is in lightdm. This is from a live session, and may not
  be indicative of a real installation.

  For the last while I've been unable to change sessions from the login
  screen. I will select a different desktop environment (gnome-shell,
  Unity 2d, anything) and log in. It will just log me into a Unity (3d)
  session.

  I notice that if I select a different session, type the username, and
  press enter, the dot is back on the original "Ubuntu" setting instead
  of my selected option. It seems like as soon as I press enter that my
  selection is erased and reverted.

  I believe this is a regression because it used to work earlier in this
  cycle.
