Title:
  guest session starts with previous users's xsession

Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter:
  New
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  the selected xsession is not reset, if "Guest Session" is selected as
  user.

  this is a problem in the following scenario:
  - default xsession is something intuitive ore self-documenting like mate or kde
  - technical user A logs in, uses dwm or i3, logs out again.
  - the greeter shows A as preselected user
  - untechnichal guest selects "Guest Session", doesn't mind the tiny missing icon in the rtop right corner
  - finds himself unable to use the computer or log out again
