[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#770967: user-session ignored for autologin sessions

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.10.3-2
Severity: normal

When I put the below into lightdm.conf...

"""
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=mike
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=LXDE
"""

.... my expectation would be to end up with an LXDE session as user mike directly after reboot.

What happens: I get an i3 desktop session (my system-wide default desktop shell).

It seems that the user-session parameter currently gets ignored by lightdm.
