Public bug reported:

If my account is listed in lightdm screen and I use that option,
selecting the session type (e.g. xmonad) wworks as expected. If logging
in as 'Other' -> type username -> type password and I select session
type when entering the username, it's back to default once I get to the
password screen. Selecting here a non-system-default session will not
take any effect.

So for correct functioning
a) the user selection made when entering the username needs to be preserved (or the session type selection disabled there)
b) the session selected in the password entering stage needs to actually take effect
c) If I use the 'entering username' way of login, my last selection should be preserved
