this was fixed upstream in 2.0.21, and fixed in the debian experimental upload
2:2.0.21-1.

unfortunately, it would likely be difficult to backport those changes to the
version in lenny, especially this late in the freeze.

i'm not sure i understand you here, you mean that you cannot login after
rebooting the thin client? or it merely doesn't default to the previously
selected session?

it uses the defaults for /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager, which is a
systemwide default.

to configure per-user, you'd need to create a ~/.xsession
for each user that sets the session.
