Title:
  lightdm-gtk-greeter/lightdm does not honor default session setting for
  a never logged in user

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This problem applies to Ubuntu-MATE setups using out-of-the-box
  lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter settings.

  
  To duplicate this bug:

  Create a new installation of Ubuntu-MATE.  Create two users (user1 and
  user2).

  Install a second windows manager (such as openbox)

  Have user1 log in using the openbox windows manager and log out.

  Have user2 log in. (Note: user2 is a user who as never logged into
  machine and has no record of last session used.)

  The expected outcome is that user2 will use the default session: MATE, but the outcome is that
  user2 will be logged into an openbox session.

  lightdm --show-config shows that the default is set to mate:

  --
  user1@tester:~$ lightdm --show-config
     [LightDM]
  A  backup-logs=false

     [Seat:*]
  B  greeter-wrapper=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session
  C  guest-wrapper=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session
  D  user-session=mate
  E  xserver-command=X -core
  F  greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
