Title:
  lightdm-gtk-greeter does not use previous session

Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In 12.04, lightdm-gtk-greeter (1.1.4-0ubuntu1) does not restore the
  previous session, rather always logs in with the system default
  session unless the user selects one specifically.   I suspect this is
  because the session field defaults to "Ubuntu", rather than looking up
  the previous session name.  The unity greeter in lightdm works as
  expected, but shows the icon for "Ubuntu" even if it is going to start
  Gnome.

  lightdm logs the following:
