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

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
